Nodding in the Rain

We had a beautiful autumn mega-rain today, coming down in torrents - it's a great warm-up for the blustery weather to come. You get all the "oooh, scary" of a storm, but it's still warm and green outside.

After the rain, I went outdoors for a minute and got some shots of my beautiful Russian Sunflowers - they've got lovely big faces, and should provide a lot of sustenance for the little birds out there come winter.

I love raindrops on flowers!
