Beauty, Amy's Garden, Bartlett Pond, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

As I age I find myself increasingly noticing natural beauty in the world around me. Doing so is one of the few acts that is NEVER a bad idea. There are few subjects that one can say that about.  In these days of media emphasis on bad news here, there, and everywhere, focusing on the good seems even more important.  If not now, when?

 One of the reasons that Amy's garden is so spectacular is lots of rain during this spring and summer. The following video clip will give you a glimpse.

This 35-second clip includes lightning, thunder, and sheets of rain being blown across the pond surface.
