As you can see from the last photo in this post the morning started early and overcast; and then there was gentle misty-rain. The blossoms were refreshed by the night and early mist-rain. It clung to the petals, leaves and edges.

The sky was gradually lit by the sun touching the clouds which in turn were reflected in subtle tones on the surface of the water in the rusty fire pit. The water not only cradled the clouds but also a fallen leaf.

Orchids in Graham's orchid house have also welcome a bit of cooler weather and dew-filled evenings.

And all of that emerged from a grey cloud filled morning
