Gerbera Daisies in the Rain.

My Gerbera Daisies are still going strong. I got some shots of them during a night rain and some this A.M. after an early morning rain.

This daisy has a double bloom. It's taking a beating from the rain but I think it still looks pretty.

I'm pleased that my spring flowers are still going strong in the fall.

That's a good thing because the tree they sit under has been decorated with bones and skeletons. A sort of bone-yard motif - complete with daisies pushing up.

Especially like the one next to the last. All are beautiful though, make me want to go wipe my face, I feel wet now.

I started out trying to get a shot of the spider in the tree. But the rain and the looking up wasn't a really good idea.

I'm not sure why the color change over time.

Thanks!
