Hi Paula! Happy New Year. I love the way you bring out the opposites in the picture - sun/rain; wet/dry; cold/warm. Blessings of health and happiness to you for 2025! We are, indeed, praying for rain especially in SoCal! My cousin lives near Altadena in an historic home. We are sending prayers for all involved and all in danger along with first responders!

Very cool creation Paula. AND Send all raindrops to southern California. Five cities are on fire! The latest one in Eaton.CA, destroyed 10,000 acres.

This is spot on. Sun is part of water because of evaporation, and then sun helps dry the air. I see a look at science in this poem.
