Well that was such a worthwhile 100% chance of rain we had.  Didn't even wet down the whole deck on the house.  Sigh.  We haven't had a decent rain since, what, early September?  It's been so long I can't even remember the last time.  Anyway, today's photo I decided on a nice pop of purple color.  This is Dakota Verbena growing on Konza Prairie that I shot quite a while back.  This wildflower is usually a Spring variety but there is an area on a hill out on the Konza where you can find this blooming almost all through the warm season.  It doesn't grow very tall there but is almost a constant bloomer and a nice spot of color when everything else is turning brown.
