Spring Rain

This is spring in Connecticut, lots of rain. Sometimes it seems it will never end.
But I love the rain and I never complain about it.

Because afterwards it looks like this.
And the crabapple in the sideyard looks like this.

This is the achingly beautiful weeping cherry tree in the backyard that only stays in flower for a few days.

And its reflection in the pond.

And the waterfall gurgles merrily away with all the spring rain.

And my Japanese maple, Grandma's Ghost, that I bought off E-bay last year loved all the rain.
