Into Everyone's Life A Little Rain Must Fall

Purple Trillium

Fruit of the Purple Trillium

The day began overcast and with the possibility of rain, which eventually became a reality. Like many of my trips upstate to visit my parents I usually go out for a quick hike or try to visit some "thin blue line" looking for some wild trout. A few rain drops here and there usually doesn't phase me but for a few minutes here and there the heavens opened up.  The great thing about being out in the woods or along a stream is that no two days are ever alike. Many days heavy rain will put the fish off but not today.  I think the heavier the rain the more bites I had.  I didn't wind up bringing to many to hand but I was happy with what I caught.

Though the rain was a little annoying at times any wild brookie I got to hold put a smile on my face.  The only regret I have is that I was not able to take more photos because of the rain but I did manage to snap a few shots of a purple trillium moving along with ensuring the next generation of trillium's will be there next year. Overall the rain did nothing to dampen my spirit. It is just part of the outdoor experience.  Not every day can be sunny and 80 degrees.  Into everyone's life a little rain must fall.
