Textures~Mosaic Monday

Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain
beat upon your head with
silver liquid drops. Let the
rain sing you a lullaby.
~Langston Hughes





A rainy day here in my corner. I had hoped to share my new fence, but there's nothing spectacular about a new fence in the rain, though it did mean getting kissed by silver liquid. There is something interesting, if not spectacular, about textures in the rain. So I give you a simple mosaic on a simple rainy day.

Top photo: rain splatter in the ferns
Left to right: ferns (I wanted it to be a moth; It's only a bit of a brown leaf.), deck spindles, iron plant holder handle, new growth on Eastern Spruce

A cooler week, if that's what you need; a wetter week, if that's what you need; a wonderful week either way...

  3. I love your cool green mosaic! We are expecting a thunderstorm here tonight, Vee, and I hope it cools things down a little. The humidity is killing me.

  7. So cool and green - lovely! I hope we get some cool rain (I think it's on its way).

    As for the A&F being smelly - they spray that perfume everywhere there and I don't care for it!

    Have a wonderful week!

  13. I love the rain splatter on the fern - what a gorgeous photo. I also like the photo of the red daylilies in your prior post. They remind me of the daylilies in my header photo. I took my red daylily photo at someone else's garden; I really would love to have some red ones of my own next year. Have a wonderful week, Vee!
    Blessings, Beth

  27. Looking forward to seeing your new fence in the sunshine. We've had tons of rain this summer but it's wonderful to see the growth that's happening and I haven't had to roll up the hose once so that's something. Your mosaic is lovely.

  28. This is simply lovely. I love every one of those photos for different reasons.
    Beautiful, my friend.

  29. Pretty and cool looking mosaic, Vee. We've had a few small showers here and it's actually supposed to be a bit cooler this week. Yay!! Have a good week.

  30. Lovely mosaic, Vee. It will be cooler here this week, which we need, and wet again, which we've had a lot of and I wish I could send to Texas where the earth looked cracked with thirst.....I looked out my window this morning and saw a bloom on my magnolia tree. In August. I'm a bit startled by this. Sometimes things bloom out of season in the fall. Is it autumn now? Weather is surely confusing these days.

  31. Oh how pretty and what a welcoming site it would be down here...but rain or not, heat will be on the menu and I am still going to have a good week.

    You have a wonderful week also.

  37. Cooler and wetter please, that would be wonderful indeed. Love the green textures of your photos, just beautiful!

  38. Oh, what a pretty mosaic. The rain is a welcome sight on this 95 degree day. We will soon be heading for Michigan where the long range forecast calls for the temps to be in the 70s. My husband says that sounds too cold, I say ... bring it on. I can't wait.
    Enjoy your Monday.
