Nature: Aftermath of high wind and rain..........

Gale accompanied with heavy downpour brings certain change.....gravid cloudscape and the swaying, dancing trees and shrubs....
The lanky thread palms tremble menacingly....the sweetgum blossoms blanket the ground... the squirrels hide in their dreys... the few mourning doves and house finches that show up have feathers ruffled up.... the primrose bed seems battered ....most of the peach flowers fall off.....

The sweetgum trees cloaked with the tender leaves looked striking against the backdrop of grey sky.

The Queen palm fronds were tilted to a side in their effort to combat the ferocious wind.

The brown garden snails had emerged out of their shells and were nibbling on the bush lily petals.
