I mentioned in my post yesterday that we’ve had quite a bit of rain here. So between the rain and some health issues, I haven’t been out of the house a whole lot. My husband surprised me with a drive around Loch Raven Reservoir which is just a very short drive from our home. Being able to get out for even a little while and taking in some nature is a wonderful feeling and truly good for the Soul!
Before starting out, I decided to take a few photos in the front yard. The sun hadn’t dried out all of the rain yet so I took a photo of maple leaves with rain drops still on them.
As well as a couple photos of hibiscus flowers. The hibiscus plants really took a beating from the rain but have bounced back nicely!
We knew the water would be high at the reservoir from all of the rain but it was also quite muddy. Not complaining though as I was happy to go for the ride. All photos were taken from the truck as we were unable to actually stop.
It was a beautiful drive.
I don’t know if you can see what’s coming up on the side of the road here?
So here is a closer look!
Here you can see the dam in the distance…
…and here are a couple of dam photos close up. 😉
I don’t know who Stan loona is but, evidently, he wanted people to know he was here!
Sorry this shot is blurry but it’s hard to slow down too much when a car is behind you..lol!
These are a couple of better views!
Headed out I took this photo of some beautiful trees against a pretty sky.
Coming around the back way I got some more photos of the high water which I put into a collage.
When we got home I noticed that one of the pink hibiscus had perked up so I will end my post with this nice pop of color!
