Yes...without rain Earth would be nothing but a wasteland planet.
I sometimes complain about all the rain we have here in Scotland...but I'm also grateful that Perfect Nature constantly creates new life to keep us humans from completely destroying ourselves, each other... and the planet!

And this beautifully complements all the circular, coronal eclipse photos seen everywhere these days.

What a beautiful photo!!!

We've had more wet weather than usual here in western Ontario so our forest fires have been at the minimum. My friends in the Okanagan Valley in B.C. have really been suffering from the sustained high temperatures and fires.

Yup......I will file my response to this rain in November for when it's been raining steadily for weeks......take out this photo and evoke the gratitude....Yes,life on this planet is based on sunlight, a 2 ft layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.

One of my sisters has a farm on the Shuswap River near Enderby/Armstrong.........I cancelled my visit to them this Summer, they said they had such an anxious couple of months.....They didn't get evacuated, but they were helping out by housing evacuees and their animals, working with other volunteers to collect donations and organizing transportation etc........Trying to keep busy so they wouldn't be on tenterhooks all the time wondering if they were next.........
