Morning Rain

It has been hot here in Eldersburg and we have seen thunderstorms at night. The weatherman says there is  chance for more storms today and tomorrow. When the storms come at night, it makes a good time to take pictures in the morning right after sunrise. I got the opportunity yesterday morning and the images are from around the yard.

A last look at Spring

Summer arrives this week, so I figured to share some images I have shot around the yard during the season in Eldersburg. Everything is green and the flowers are in bloom, but earlier in the spring the trees, like dogwood and apple were also in bloom. The cat sits in the window and watches the chipmunks, squirrels and birds visit the bird feeder. There doesn't seem to be as many bees and butterflies this year. The garden has enjoyed the spring as we have been eating broccoli, onions, lettuce, spinach and swiss chard since around May 1. Now we are waiting for the first tomatoes of summer.

Sunday Weather

   

We went to dinner at Chili's and the sun was shining bright. When we came out a line of dark clouds were moving our way. We talked about Friday's storms, but this didn't look as bad. Just picture perfect. We got a little rain, some wind and a double rainbow in Eldersburg. We were at Carrolltown Mall when we saw the rainbows and they went from McDonald's to Big Lots. I couldn't resist the church steeple on the way home.
