ABC Wednesday.=R.

ABC Wednesday. To see who's participating go to Mrs Nesbitt's Place.

This week in ABC the letter is R. = RAIN STORM.

With a Flash of Lightning,
A Roll of Thunder,
The Heavens Opened,
And Down cam the Rain,
We had a Mighty Rain-Storm.

  31. One of the nicest pictures I have seen in a long time Imac :O)
    Like others I was reminded of the style of Claude Monet... but our very own 'Old Master' is to be thanked for this stunning view.

    Not forgetting what an excellent R post this is aswell.
