After several days of beautiful weather, the rain came.

I was fortunate to hear the call of a Pileated Woodpecker,

ran to the window, and captured this (through the window)

In a silver chain 

Of evening rain, 

Unravelled from the tumbling main...

The Beauty of Rain

But the true lover of rain.... has a deep inner enjoyment of the rain, as rain, and his sense of its beauty drinks it in as thirstily as does the drinking earth. It refreshes and cools his heart and brain; he longs to go forth into the fields, to feel its steady stream, to scent its fragrance; to stand under some heavy-foilaged chestnut-tree, and hear the rushing music on the crowded leaves. 
~ John Richard Vernon, "The Beauty of Rain," 1863

Silently Gazing

 It is beautiful to talk about beautiful things and even more beautiful to silently gaze at them.

Falling Rain

For after all the best thing one can do when

it is raining, is to let it rain.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

There Will Come a Time ....

There will come a time, you’ll see with no more tears.

And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.

Get over your hill and see what you find there,

With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

– Mumford and Sons, After the Storm

Singing in the Rain

Taken thru the window looking out into my front yard.

Truly to sing, that is a different breath.  
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

This little guy was singing his heart out in the rain one morning. 
Beautiful music!
