As I walked back from the east coop this morning, I could hear the gentle rain falling on the tree leaves more than I could feel it dropping on my naked arms.  It was one of those quiet summer rains so subtle that it doesn’t show up on radar (I checked) and won’t really get you wet unless it lasts 10 minutes or so.

This rain did just that, and dampened these phlox sweetly (which I caught on my new iPhone 4 camera, which I already love.  Took the new website banner photo of a sweet kitten face with this camera too).  Several more times this morning I’ve heard the rainsong, a longtime summer favorite.  More a lullaby than the familiar Sousa March of a summer thunderstorm, Ferret our indoor cat sleeps soundly through it all.
