Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ To some, this may appear to be a rather ordinary photo.
But this, to me, is a glorious sight.
The roofs are wet with rain.
Beautiful, rainy mist is rolling in, so you can barely see the Mount Martha peninsula on Port Phillip Bay in the background.
This is our first rain on the Mornington Peninsula since December 2008!
What a glorious, scenic Sunday!

THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
Autumn is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter.
Autumn whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key.
~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Yeah, this is something for me too, coz rain means that it cleanses the aura of the place.
Looks like a strong storm is coming. Very interesting shot indeed.
We had rain yesterday but today it is hot and humid as ever again with the cicadas driving you crazy
I share your passion for light rainy days. The smell, the raindrops... so glorious indeed! Best wishes :)
I love rainy days too. I love the smell, the sound of the falling rain, everything. I could watch raindrops for hours without getting tired. Just lovely!
it's good to see the rain.
Happy rain to you!!//Eva
Thank the heavens above for rain! Glad you're getting some; it's been raining here too. Fun shot and thanks for sharing...Love your haiku too!
How marvelous Gemma. Wow that is quite a long drought. Oh what a wonderful day to simply enjoy.
We have been in a drought also, although not as severe, but, still when it does rain here it is a day of celebration for us too!!
Happy Rainy day!!
Jackie:-)
