Set wet!

A year and a half since the last post! And a similar theme like the last one, thanks to the rains. We had a welcome break from the heat in the form of rain due to a passing cyclone on the coast. The drizzle and morning dew lent a great additional touch. Just had to make a break for it at sunrise before the sun got to the droplets first.
