Rain…finally! Like the rest of the West, we’re experiencing several storms this week….one after the other. Our strongest will have high winds and is due tonight. Love the rain but the winds barreling down through the mountains around us will almost always overturn trees. I tied down all my new trees when I planted them so I think they’ll be OK.

Tech info: Rain splashing on my patio captured hand held through a window. Canon 7D, Canon 70-200 (non IS) at 200mm. ISO 800, 1/180th sec at f5/6. Nik and Topaz filters added to accentuate the splash.
