Dancing in the rain

2 Comments

A rather wet day ahead so I’ll be ducking and dodging raindrops if we choose to leave our humble abode. While this spot missed the overnight rains that won’t be the case after daylight. Notice I didn’t say sunrise because I was just outside and that cloud deck isn’t going to present one.

Dancing in the rain makes me think of an old movie my mom loved called Singing in the Rain and the dance scene with Gene Kelly. Sorry, showing my age again. Anyway, it got me thinking that I don’t have that many foul weather shots and maybe I should get out and see what I can capture with the camera.

I’ll have to see if I can top this as my favorite rain shot.

I’ve got to start to develop a different attitude about rain. It usually depresses me a bit. Takes away my motivation to get outside. For some reason, I always feel stiff on rainy days.

It’s just starting to drizzle here now. I stepped out for a few minutes. That drizzle quickly turned into some steady rain.

So, I took a few seconds to capture 2 new rain shots before retreating inside.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • Dogs have the eyes of young children when they want something.
  • The lies have always been a sad joke. Just more people are waking up to that now.
  • One thing this country has always been good at is responding to disasters. The earthquakes in South America need our help. I just have to figure out which organization I’m donating to.
  • A new frozen treat. Snoopsicles are ROLLING out to Costco’s soon.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.

  1. My husband hates rain. You are not alone. As for me, extreme with humidity makes me physically angry. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
