It started raining about four o'clock, yesterday afternoon. We've waited so long for some decent rain so it was exciting to watch the clouds forming during the morning and the weather front creep in slowly until the rain finally started falling. And yet, it was so still - no wind - the rain just coming straight down.
The birds went berserk! The black cockatoos went crazy up in the tree tops, squawking and flapping about like young children at the local pool on a hot day. Little tiny Silvereyes hopped madly around in the bushes catching insects and the twenty-eights were even noisier than they usually are, informing the world of the change in the weather, no doubt!
The rain washes the dust off the foliage and it darkens the tree bark bringing a new brightness and clarity to the bush scene.
There are bright diamond-like raindrops sitting on the leaves of bushes and trees everywhere, sparkling in the morning sunshine.
Where did these blooms appear from?? I don't think they were there yesterday!
