Lately, most days we have had rain. I really don’t know what is going on with mother nature but we have had an unusually wet spring this year. It has been a challenging spring with rheumatoid arthritis because every time a front comes through and there is a change in the barometric pressure, my hands start to act up. I have had a lot of pain and swelling this spring. More than I have had in a long time. So it has been a bit of a roller coaster ride for the past month or so. I decided today to focus on what the rain has brought me that is positive and well, here is some of what I found. I am blessed to be able to enjoy this beauty in my very own yard. I hope that you enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Are you a photographer too? I am an aspiring photog living with RA
Love your blog btw…helps me through the day!
Great photo of the iris! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for saying so. I appreciate it.:)
I suppose it depends on how define photographer. I take a lot of pictures. It brings me an abundance of joy. I did photography my Niece’s wedding but I couldn’t do that again. I was in bed for days afterward. I am glad I did it but it was just too much for this body. So I guess you could call me an amateur photographer. Thank you for the lovely compliment as well.

These are absolutely gorgeous. I am jealous that you have that wonderful strawberry in your back yard ready to be gobbled up whenever you want! I admire you finding the beauty when your body is feeling otherwise!
I love the pictures of the flowers. You must have a beautiful yard.
Thank you. I think that our little acre is very beautiful. It brings me a lot of peace when I am out there.
