Boston’s bright and bountiful beauty shines in these flower photos, taken on a rainy day and proving that sometimes a gray sky and drops of rain can add to the beauty of the world. I’ve long maintained that the colors in the garden seem stronger and more saturated now than at any other time of the year. Recompense for having to slip into the winter slumber perhaps.
They also provide a lovely little break from the darkness that’s been posted here of late (and which has only just begun, I’m afraid to say). Contrast is vital, and dwelling in the dark for too long has never done anyone any good. Here we have a clematis, a butterfly bush, and some ruby leaves of the Judas tree.
