Raindrops erased stains and blemishes; revealing the natural beauty of the scene. Colors are brighter; clearer; sharper; as if the world has been given a facelift. The leaves of the trees glisten with drops of water; the flowers emerge from the freshly nourished earth; and the air is filled with the scent of rain. It is as if nature had been renewed; washed clean of its impurities and worries; ready to offer a new day full of promise.

The title "washed by yesterday's rain" is inspired by a poem by Gustave Roud; (Swiss poet of the 20th century.) "Les moissons".Excerpt from "Moissons""And when the storm breaks

The ears have finished shining

But they left dying

A song of abundance

Which mingles with wet perfumesSo goes the earth

And the seeds are blessed

As are the harvests

Through yesterday's rain

Gustave Roud
