Rain Out

I woke up this morning to the sounds of a light rain.  It was a delightful sound considering it has been six weeks since our last drop of rain!

I checked the radar and quickly decided to scrap any hiking plans I had today.  However, I did see what looked to be a short window of opportunity before the heaver stuff moved into our area.  So I grabbed my camera gear and drove on down to Hatcher Garden here in Spartanburg, SC. 

I was there about 10 minutes before the sky opened up and a torrential downfall caused me to retreat to my vehicle.  But not before I was able to snap this series of shots.

Raindrops on a Spiderwort Bloom


Not sure what type of flower this is
