Rainy Hike in the Woods

There is something wonderful about hiking in the rain. I took a nice stroll through a local preserve yesterday and found that my senses came alive underneath the canopy of deciduous trees during the constant shower of rain. When I stopped it seemed as though I could hear each individual raindrop hit each leaf. The mayapples quaked with joy as they soaked up the much needed nourishment. The forest and connecting prairie/savanna even had a very ethereal, out of this world look to it. The clouds hung low, the sky was darkened, and yet the forest was lit by a very soft, even glow of white light. Here is an image I took of a newly sprouted lupine leaf studded in raindrops!
Enjoy,
Tyler
