DeleteLovely Janice:)
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteWell done, Janice. I like the idea of the raindrops slapping.
ReplyDeleteHave watched those heavy raindrops hit a hard earth making a slapping sound. Glad you liked it and thanks for the comment.
DeleteI do like the bitterness I read in it, but is so interesting - if you were a farmer you might revere this moment...like it very much.
ReplyDeletehad not thought of the bitterness till you pointed it out in the comment. Grew up on a farm in a farming community. Great respect for rain.
DeleteLovely ... I could see this image very clearly in my mind's eye. Bastet
