As you can probably see as you go through these few pictures, it was a little bit of a gloomy Saturday. It began merely cloudy, and so I spent part of the morning cleaning in the house before heading to the grocery store and to get more fly spray for the horsey. This wasn't the best of decisions because promptly at 9:30 when I donned jacket and shoes to leave, the heavens opened and it began to pour.

Ah well. I took some of these photos in the morning before the deluge and then some I took this evening. I really like the overcast days for photos, it is WAY easier to expose properly. In other words, bright sun and deep shadows are difficult to deal with.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my study of (mostly) greenery in this lush rainforest of Northern Wisconsin.

| Coral Bells- Heuchera |
 |
| Siberian Iris |
 |
| Allium- Globemaster (I think) |
 |
| Alchemilla mollis |
 |
| Azalea- Northern Lights |
 |
| Hostas- full sized and miniature, plus an oriental lily |
It is astonishing the speed and vigor of the plants as they grow right now. We might not be thrilled with the rains, but the plants beg to differ!
I guess that is looking, rather ironically, at the sunny side of life. And finding some joy among the water drops.
