A beautiful moment

Yesterday afternoon it rained; One of those sudden summer storms that brought back vivid images from my youth. Big fat drops plummeted straight to earth releasing that invigorating earthy scent.

We sat on the porch, mesmerized. dreamy. content.

When the shower stopped we realized that S had forgotten to bring in his bicycle.

The result was a ghostly photogene-- something we might have missed if we hadn't been looking carefully. An ephemeral reminder of the beauty to be found in simple moments.
