Here in South Carolina, we have had almost two weeks of clouds, rain, drizzle, and humidity. It’s hard to believe that just about two weeks ago, we welcomed the first day of fall. I need some sun and some vitamin D therapy.

It’s hard to see beauty when it is raining day after day.

I looked through some recent images and found this hibiscus bud.

It is not spring, not even close, but the bud reminds me of warm, sunny days with a hint of the crispness of fall.
