Two Trees; One Ring

Well, this has been another week of warm rain and LOTS of it.  As the weather person would say: It's one system after another coming at us.  No sooner has the sky cleared and a ray of sunshine begun to peek through than the clouds gather again and the sky opens. Very strange but never boring.

Not like some trees I could mention.  You'd think that they'd have made tremebdous progress with all the warmth and the drenching.  I don't see any difference at all.

For either one.  This week is a bust.

But there is some beauty when the sun shines after a shower.  Look at these spangled columbine leaves. There is one huge raindrop in the middle attended by many tiny ones.  Some times the photo is even better than what you can see. 

Happy St Patrick's Day!
