The US Botanical Garden in the Rain

A rainy day is not my idea of a good time to take a walk. I avoid rain like the plague. But for whatever reason, we decided since it was just sprinkling, we would give it a go and made our way toward the US Botanical Garden. I really like it there, and was curious to see not only what was still in bloom, but how it looked in the rain and mist. Surprisingly, since I was prepared with a rain jacket and an umbrella, the expedition was actually quite pleasant. What made it even more so were the picturesque  surroundings. Everything takes on a different vibe under the clouds. The rain drops somehow make everything even more spectacular. One can definitely feel that fall is in the air, just by looking at all the once bright and vivacious colors turning to earth tone hues. It's also obvious that the season is changing because the crowds are sparse. In any event it almost feels like our own private garden - heaven knows we have walked this way so may times since we moved here and even before that. In a way or does belong to us all. We are just lucky enough to live just a couple blocks away.
