Day 83: We waited for the rain...

Day 83: ...and waited...tomorrow perhaps.

Well, more frangipanis, or plumeria to give them the more familiar Hawaiian name (the things you learn on twitter). Not the same as the others since they generally only last a day or two. There was a bit of a rush on today to get the chores done today given rain was forecast: laundry, part two of the lawn mowing from yesterday, tidying up, writing ... OK, that last one has nothing to do with whether or not it is raining but there was a certain anticipation of some precipitation today. 

Apart from a short spell at tai chi, I was generally playing the academic-at-home role today so I didn't get out and about. I do feel fortunate though that I can step outside and find photographic subjects and today's frangipanis were just at their beckoning best.

So apologies, dear reader, if you are tiring of them, but the amateur photographer in me is having some fun experimenting with cropping possibilities, giving us another viewpoint of the humble flower. The season comes to an end soon...
