Between Rainstorms


Yesterday there were floods in Wellington, a small tornado (which removed about a third of the roof off the stadium), and torrential rains in Tauranga.  Here, it persisted it down all night and this afternoon. But there was a convenient break at dawn to allow the dogs and I our usual walk.  Everything was freshly washed and clean, albeit rather soggy.

And one of the trees took advantage of the winds to divest itself of its last leaves.

  1. I like puddles and the second is a beauty. I am an expert on puddles living here.

    1. Yes Adrian, the second caught some sky. The UK is indeed a wet place. cf NZ, a more drizzly, misty version I think.

  2. I don't like this much rain. We get 12 of rain in a whole year!

    1. We get the wind with the rain Red. I presume you mean inches not cm?

  3. There is something rather enjoyable about a good downpour. I used to love standing on the deck on a warm day with the torrential rain. So long, that is, that I didn't have to venture forth into it.
