After a soaking rain
Although Central Ontario has not been as hot and dry as other places in North America this summer, it has been warmer than usual and - until last Friday - we needed rain. Well we finally got some. A lot, in fact. If you look closely at the dirt road in the foreground of the above photo you can see a narrow but deep gully. Road crews and city workers were busy this past weekend.
Foggy under threatening skies
The sun was trying to peek through the clouds at my back.
Raindrops still dripping off wild apples
The tree on the left of the above photo is an apple tree. I bet the horses that live on the farm will be eying them soon.

Beautiful scenes from your world. The horses and pasture are pretty. Great shots, have a wonderful day.
The horses are just biding their time till it's 'apple-pickin' time. For sure!
We certainly got more than our fair share of rain over the past 3 or 4 days. That rain on Friday night was like standing under Niagara falls! (Not that I've ever done that.... just imagining it. :-))
We could use a cooling rain in our parts too!
beautiful barn and the last photo is like a magnificent and very old painting. we had two soaking rains two days in a row, i did a happy dance
Some beautiful scenes here. Isn't rain wonderful? It gets so hot here this time of year, but we usually get a thunderstorm or two in the afternoon which cools things down nicely.
Love those wild apples. If the horses don't get 'em, I will!
I wish those of us in my part of eastern Ontario had got some of that rain.
Your photos look so fresh especially love the apples.
What an absolutely idyllic scene at the bottom with the horses grazing! The rain is so refreshing and looks so lovely dripping off the apples that animals will be munching on soon, I suspect.
What lovely farm land. The apples look beautiful too. So colorful.
It all looks so luscious!
It is definitely a lovely part of our great country. Almost as nice as BC! :D
Glad you got some rain. Your photos are lovely. The last one looks like a painting.
Wonderful photos!
congratulations on great rain! that is a gorgeous horse farm!!!
An idyllic post, love your shots.
Glad you finally got your rain! We've had the opposite situation, too much rain until the last week or so when we've finally got our sunshine!
Rain swept and beautiful photos, I love all this green space, thank you!
Lovely captures!
Everything looks so fresh and new after a good rain.
I'm glad someone is getting rain! Your photos are beautiful, love the green!
Jak deszcz był potrzebny, to dobrze, że spadł. Z pewnością rośliny były zadowolone. Pozdrawiam.
As the rain was needed, it is good that fall. Certainly, the plants were happy. Yours
Looks like nice treats for the horses!
The picture of the apples is just marvellous. Good that you got some rain, too bad for the cracks on the road...
amazing to see and wonderful to adsorb. thankyou.
see ya later.
I really love Canada, what a really pretty place it is! Richard
The rain has left everything looking so green and fresh.
What lovely scenes indeed, EG! I do love the moody skies and the horses Oh, and the apples look delicious! You did get some great captures as always! Hope you're getting a break in the heat! Enjoy your week!
We have had about two inches of rain so far in August, about half an inch more than the whole month of July. Also it is cooler, and the grass has started to grow again. Yes, horses love wind fall apples.
Beautiful, lush, and green!
Wonderful refreshing rains ... I love your capture of raindrops dripping off wild apples ... Makes me want to reach out and pick one.
Beautiful! I could look at the horses in the pasture all day ... so relaxing!
Wonderful photos!! I really likes all of them! :)
What a pretty farm. Glad you had some rain. We finally had a small storm this morning, but the actual rainfall was negligible.
Good you got that needed rain. Love the wet apples. You live in a beautiful part of the world.
Wonderful series of captures. That first shot could be a water colour painting! and a delicious shot of the apples. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful shots. Rain is such a welcoming release. We in the great PNW must love the rain because we have so much of it. Now we haven't had any in all of August which seems strange. We are still green thank goodness. Love the bright greens in your pictures. The horses are enjoying the weather too. MB
Beautiful shots of a beautiful area. Love the apples shot.
Photos full of adventure! :) So full of summer and joy! I think the horses love it there, and I can just guess how even more glad they will become when facing the fresh looking apples! :)
What a big lovely farmhouse!
And I love the misty look, especially on the last photo here! :)
Have lovely August days! July at my place has been rainy and quiet cold. I haven't even gone to swim in the sea this summer!
Apples and rain....yum!:)
What a wonderful place! Horse farm ! Wow thats a new one for me.
We'd appreciate it if you could send some of that cool rain down this way. I really like your photo of the apples with the raindrops on them.
Soooooo happy for rain!
Cheers from Cottage Country East!
Beautiful landscapes. I'm glad you got rain since you needed it.
Green bright pictures. Brilliant mood!
Lovely shots - such beautiful skies... Is there anything as delicious as summer rain after a spell of too hot weather?
Beautiful country you have there! We are below average in rain and above average in heat, but there has been enough rain to keep the fields green.
What a delicious rain - lovely shots!
Stunning landscapes.
Ahh, everything is fresh after a big rain.
Ontario is a beautiful place and well captured by you. :)
This is a beautiful snapshot of your world--the pastoral scenes refreshed by recent rains. And I'm especially fond of your apple macro--may need to steal that subject for next week. Glad you spotted them before the horses.
I never get tired of looking at the beauty of your world. thanks so much for sharing.
What beautiful and calming captures of nature and scenery.
What a stunning scene!
