It rained most of the day - below is early in the morning, when the sun peaked out from behind the clouds while the rains came steadily down. By late afternoon it had finally stopped, allowing me a damp ramble in the woods. Being several days since I'd been down there, I found lots of wildflowers and shrubs blooming, and the bees happily busy.
