Description
April Showers bring May Flowers.
We have had such a dry Spring that I have had to water often, and not just things in planters, but even in the ground.
The showers in my garden have been mainly artificial !

Now you've put the mockers on it,don't complain .
wonderful sunlight and playful clouds! you can be lucky to own a garden, I have no garden and no balcony 😂
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
I'd be more than happy to send you some, if not all the rain we've been having here in Southwest Washington state for just a little bit of your sun!!!!
Formidable picture and light effect !!
Crappy weather patterns to say the least--- the forecast is for snow tomorrow here-- the temp. is 2c and feels like -1 as I write this.
Your garden will look gorgeous Andrea-- hopefully your water bill isn't going to be way out of league ! !
What a cool pic. thanks for sharing.
XxOo
Just had to come visit Andrea, hope you are well. Love this photo very much, it has the feel good factor thank you. hugs Jane xx
Sky looks lovely. Cold, hail & rain for us & a bit of sun!!!!
Excellent composition and exposure. A good title for this.
great sun and clouds, love it!
Maybe we can trade you some rain in the Pacific Northwest (USA) for some of your sunshine. Washington State has just had the wettest month of April since the weather folks have been keeping records (1890 or thereabouts). Like the sun spots...makes your point perfectly.
Beautiful sky Andrea! It is funny to hear you say that you had to water often, even the ground. That's the only way our plants get water and we are encouraged to do desert landscaping. All the plants are xeriscape and drought resistance. Everything I have is on a timer, and either bubble or drip irrigated. Irrigation is done at night to prevent evaporation. Occasional rain is a bonus. Average annual precipitation is a little over 5 inches and the annual evaporation rate in Phoenix 99 inches.
Mike and Bill spoke of the heavy rains in their area (in response to your comments on how dry it's been where you are): That part of the States gets lots of rain and cloudiness under normal circumstances. Seattle---from that region---has few truly sunny days; and there's a legend that it's a great place to commit suicide. On that lovely note...
Big spectacular sun scene, with the clouds doing their "blasting light on the edges" number, and the tops of trees framing it below. You caught/composed this so the trees make a little 'bowl' to contain the clouds above. Finely and vividly done, Andrea; and well composed.
