Gentle rain

The rain is falling soft and straight, with no sign of wind.  Chickadees and a finch came to the feeder.  Sparrows were busy in the wet mulch.

Later a Carolina wren visited.  The rain has been steady but not heavy. More chickadees, finches, and sparrows foraged. 

Toward evening the rain had slackened and the clouds looked like they were thinking of breaking.  A hint of sunset color touched them.
