Life After the Rains

I could not help noticing that my garden was brimming with life after the recent bout of rain. It has been raining every day for the past few days, heavier sometimes and a light drizzle at others, or just looming heavy clouds waiting for the next cue to fall.

The sun filtering through gaps in the leaves

This morning, the sun breaks through the clouds. There was an inevitable hive of activity. The plants seemed more alive; insects and plants both were busy basking in the morning sunlight, maybe preparing for yet another onslaught of rain.

'siblings in a row'

Beautiful, isn't it? Flowers of our common chives.

Busy web weaving?

Very busy having a meeting? Or consolidating resources?

Black ants, busy building a new nest

They do complement one another beautifully.

The moist ground is our favorite place for our home.
