Mother Nature has indeed given us 'some' (please read 'continuous' however) free showers the last days, Raj. Maybe not so nice for us, but the advantage is that nature shows very lush green now as depicted in your very fine image.

We've had more rain than usual this Spring as well (which in typically dry North Dakota doesn't take a lot); it's greener and the populations of mosquitos and lawn mushrooms are higher. As the gentleman in the green jacket, and "Man trying to blend into his environment" is demonstrating, it's obviously a pleasant place for an afternoon's walk, punctuated by the sound of a water fountain.
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
