In The Rain

The bald cypress in a 'deciduous conifer', meaning it is in the same 'family' as 'evergreens' like pine and spruce, the needled cone-bearing trees, but it loses its 'leaves' in the fall and regrows them in spring. Because the new needles are a bright lively green, they stand out in lovely contrast to the darker woods behind them, especially when all the world is darkened a bit more by a gently rain. I suffered raindrops and mosquitoes to get these shots so I hope they please you.
