Before The Rain

It’s been pouring out there for a bit.
Seems to have tapered off now.

I knew the rain was coming – there were warnings all over the place. Up until just over an hour ago, it still looked fine…
I did a big load of laundry yesterday, anticipating a few days of storms.
Also noticed a tiny nasturtium, popping up in the front garden. I don’t know where it came from – I haven’t planted any, and there hasn’t been any since we’ve been here.
It’s one of the plants I’ve been thinking about putting in, though.
And, suddenly – here it is!

A bright spot of colour, in amongst the mulch and the weeds…
Here’s a profile 😀

Yesterday was taken up with various tasks, so I didn’t get around to photographing the flora.
Today I thought I’d better do so before the storms set in.
Including some dandelion close-ups!
