Public sculpture, Nimmitabel NSW Australia.
Represents the towns name Nimmitabel as an Aboriginal word meaning 'dividing of the waters' - so described because the rainfall to the south of the village flows on to the Snowy River and rainfall to the north flows to the Murrumbidgee River.
Inside the mud caves in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Bright moon illuminating the outside.
The Anza Borrego Arroyo Tapiado Mud Caves make for a fascinating afternoon of exploration. Arroyo Tapiado is Spanish for “walled wash”, as the caves have formed along the walls of the canyon’s wash. Up to this time, 22 caves and 9 slot canyons have been found. This is one of the most extensive cave systems in the world. These caves are as long as 1,000 ft and have ceilings up to 80 feet high. The caves vary in width and height and provide a fun variety of scenario. The caves were formed by erosion caused by heavy rainfall. Some of the cave openings look like nothing more than cracks in the rocks. The caves are not always obvious. You may need to do a little searching and exploring to find hidden entrances and caves that are off the beaten track. When you park and walk into Arroyo Tapiado Canyon

RUTH LORENZO – DANCING IN THE RAIN
For my dearest friend Κώστας who gently reminds me to be thankful for what I have. I am thankful to have your friendship <3
Soft rains will fall
and wash away the cobwebs
of all our yesterdays
will mark the start
of promising tomorrows
bring comfort to this moment
as the gentle flowers sway
heads that hang in grateful silence
for the life that rainfall brings
will raise them high
when sunshine warms their faces
in joy they will rejoice
as songbirds in the nearby trees will sing
I keep my distance from my haven
cast a watchful, thankful eye upon it all
knowing that the rain does not bring sorrow
but cleanses all our sins
renews our vigour
wraps us in enchantment
leaving us enthralled
bare feet start to twitch and yearn for
a dance in puddles; invitation to this ball
Spring wonders when the April showers
return in May; sweet droplets
pour down from grey skies
and charm us all
subtle is the Aquilegia blossom
within it's heart lies secrets closely kept
will thrill you if you bend to look inside them
exquisite in creation; some have wept
to see such beauty hidden in a flower
to have the eyes to see and feel it all
this tiny flower is among my favourites
it stands so upright, proud, erect and tall
self-seeding every year it knows it's power
to sow a wonderland within these grounds of mine
so everything is forever changing
miracles surround me
make me feel small
the joy heartfelt beats stronger in these hours
wells in me; brings me slowly to my knees
in gratitude and wonder of these flowers
creation is a miracle to me
in solitude I pray and watch the showers
thank heavens for these days
Eternally.

Tropical storm front sweeping across the sugar cane fields and Australia's Highway 1 in the Wet Tropics of far north Queensland between Tully and Innisfail, in the Cassowary Coast region. These 2 towns have an ongoing rivalry about which of them has the highest Australian annual rainfall. Definitely time to be off the road as we got to the storm itself.
Sincere thanks for visiting my Australian nature offerings!

Dramatic stormy weather, rainfall, and large waves push through the rocky gully of basalt columns and wet glistening boulders on the coast of Australia
Shot out the driver's side window of my Subaru Forester after briefly pulling off the side of the road. The rain was starting to come down hard as I approached this storm front rolling in over the high plains of northeast New Mexico (Harding County).

One of my favorite sunset images was the by product of a dying storm near Elk City, Oklahoma this year. The heavy rain was masking out the sun in the back, but not enough to completely block it out. As a result, it illuminated the clouds and turned the rainfall orange.
Summer rainfall across the Sonoran desert at sunset, near Tucson Arizona. This is the season in which a shift in the prevailing wind brings a dramatic increase in rainfall to the usually dry desert areas. In the southwest this moisture comes mainly from the Gulf of California, July to mid September.

Explored! Reached #96! Wow! Thank you everyone!
Trying to upload more b&w since I got such a great response with my last one. Not sure if it's really my forte though.
This was taken outside my favorite Smithsonian Museum, The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
Like rainforests, cloud forests experience rainfall, but they also capture water straight from the
air, water condenses on the leaves of the plants and drips through the canopy to the floor. In 1970, the original extent of cloud forests on the Earth was around 50 million hectares. Population growth, poverty and uncontrolled land use have contributed to the loss of cloud forests. The 1990 Global Forest Survey found that 1.1% of tropical mountain and highland forests were lost each year, which was higher than in any other tropical forests. In Colombia, one of the countries with the largest area of cloud forests, only 10–20% of the initial cloud forest cover remains.
We moved from an area that averaged 5-6 inches of rain in a good year to a location that averages 51 inches of rain a year. Pretty nice actually having visible water instead of a dry river bed!

Heavy rainfall during the previous day produced a lively weir on the River Trent at Nether Lock on a crisp Friday 22nd September 2017 as DB Cargo 60020 'The Willows' passed heading the 07:18 Lindsey Oil Refinery to Kingsbury.

The lack of rainfall along with successive heat waves has taken its toll on the moorland this summer, this is evident in many aspects of the habitat but perhaps most visibly with the heather. Admittedly I’ve been late getting up into High Peak this season so the purple stuff was definitely past it’s best, but that aside, it still made for beautiful addition to the ever varied (and changing) colour palette on show.
Weather was very mixed for the week but you have to work with you’ve got right? Thankfully the rain and gloom seemed to confine itself to the middle of the days leaving sunrise and sunset with plenty of light to work with. For my first morning of the trip I made my mind up that I wanted to get up onto Derwent Edge and revisit White Tor, a location I last photographed at in October 2022. In the caption for the resultant photograph from that visit I remarked that I wanted to return during the heather to re-shoot the composition and indeed I intended to do exactly that on this morning.
After sizing up my old composition, taking a few test shots and mulling it over, I decided I could come up with something that had a little more depth to it. Much wandering around, squatting and neck craning ensued which resulted in an epic tripod wrangle to get my camera into position for what you see here.
Like many others, I feel the heather looks its best before the sun really starts to beat down on it. Those first slithers of light that peek over the horizon allow for some life in the scene whilst allowing the more blue-ish purple to feature in the shadows before the colour is washed out into more of a magenta bordering on orange.
I’ve already got some ideas for this composition as we enter into the colder seasons, if the heather maintains its shape after the flowers die off, there’s some potential for it to look good in snow...should we get any this coming winter! Wheel Stones way off in the back of shot are another location I need to spend more time at too. Lots of possibilities as always.

Summer evening in Stigsjö, near Härnösand, Sweden with a pretty impressive gathering of clouds over lake Långsjön (literally "long lake") that eventually led to a much needed rainfall.
Yesterday we ventured up the Hana Highway to visit the Garden of Eden which is about a 45 minute drive from Paia. It was a lovely rain free drive but once we entered the garden and paid our $15 each entrance fee, the rain returned and what a rainfall it was, complete with lightening and thunder. We sat in the car for over an hour waiting it out. Finally, it trickled out to just a light sprinkling, so we donned our very fashionable plastic rain capes that we had bought from Canadian Tire and stepped out into a freshly washed tropical paradise. It was still breezy but not cold and the three of us enjoyed exploring the trails and gazing with awe at the massive trees and exotic foliage, a totally WOW place to go ... I'm sure glad the rain finally stopped :)
Rainfall and a touch of sunshine gave a rare sight in our neighborhood - autumn leaves. Drought caused many trees to lose leaves before they were able to wear bright fall colors. This is the same tree I used in a previous image but different day and different conditions. Morgan County, Alabama - 2019
Rainfall running down a window in Britain - A regular event - Hard to photograph? No, but a bit of a pane? (Not pain)
A large tree draped in vines and Spanish Moss in a vacant lot in DeLand, Florida. With its warm climate and heavy rainfall a vacant lot has no chance against the native and introduced plants that soon cover it completely. Shot in digital infrared.
This week: after unusually arid weeks, finally some rainfall.

Today it was supposed to be raining in the morning. All weather forecasts were in agreement, no PM rain.
…Of course it was raining cats and dogs the entire afternoon. Come on people, you can’t predict the weather a few hours ahead, yet keep telling me that it will be warmer (oh wait – colder, or something, as it’s a global climate change instead of the global warming now!) in a few centuries? I call BS.

Prolonged rainfall with only a few short breaks has transformed the meadows in the Amper Valley into a lake landscape. Even if this water is not deep, it is still enough to create beautiful reflections. I was also able to try out my new Nikkor Z 2.8/14-24 mm. Although I had the Nikkor Z 4.0/14-30 mm, I now prefer the new one because, like some of the new Z series, it has the OLED display, which is very useful for my focus stacking. The optics are also much better.
