On Wednesday (day and night) a plague of rain and wind (NO TORNADOES was a BLESSING) in Southeastern Pennylvania. Rain came down in huge sheets for nearly 24 hours, making the ground very soggy as more than six inches fell. Sustained winds of 15 to 20 MPH gusting to 40 threatened to take trees down on our property, as well as our neighbors'. I was certain I'd wake up to a big mess.
----
The neighbors are on vacation somewhere on the Mediterranean, so I was watching things for them. Amazed that all I saw at home was a small rotten tree branch, splattered on the driveway. There were no trees down next door either--at least not THIS time. But her tulip garden took a beating--most of the fresh blossoms were trounced into the mud.

EXCEPT for this one!

A gorgeous tulip capture Michelle, the colors, and detail, are beautiful.
Glad it wasn't worse on your property. It's been rainy here all week also.

  Gorgeous! By the way, I saw some tulips when I went to Missoula! But they are in a warmer valley so are always ahead of us in Spring.

  Very pretty, with a moody, sad quality. Kind of eery and lonely...
