Bringing in the Sunshine!

I was awakened this morning to the loud booming of thunder and the bright flashes of lightning...that was at 4:32am! I knew that we would have rain in the night but I wasn't expecting to be so rudely awakened. The rain has been pouring down for hours and I thought "sunshine" was needed to brighten up the day. I found the little blossom above on the edge of the woods near the church where I work. These little flowers dot the landscape in this part of the country. I have no idea what they are called but they do remind of the sun.

Hope your day is sunny & bright....I think I might need waders!

***** edited 4/13/08 - I just discovered the name of the tiny golden flower above...Coreopis. It is apparently seen on the highways & byways across many states. It has always reminded me of tiny sun!
