We were supposed to get some much needed rain this morning from the South West, but unfortunately it ended up being only a couple hours long. The sun is shining again, clouds dissipating and my Rain Barrels are only half full. But I did take some photos early this morning before the rain started. Thought I'd share.

First is Lobelia cardinalis (Red Cardinal Flower) a new perennial I added to my garden this spring. The butterflies and the hummers love this one.
