Finding beauty in the rain is huge for me.
Gray days make great gloomy photos. That's about all they are good for.
An empty parking lot to some, a landscape of beauty to me.
Some leaves just stand out above and beyond the others, just like good friends.
I took a nice photowalk today with my friend, Linda and her dog "Sassy". We got rained out but got some nice photos and had great conversation.
Downside: Rain
Upside: Nice lighting for the beautiful autumn colors

Beautiful pictures! All the plats and trees in my yard look so happy I am definitely not minding the rain right now. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved this!
ReplyDeleteSo good; thank you! It's been rainy here.

So glad the rain helped provide such pretty pictures. Wonderful up-side.
ReplyDeleteJust think about how the rain makes the trees, the leaves and the parking lot worth photographing. I used to be a little anxious and possibly a little depressed when it rained. It meant I was confined. On bad days I grew to love the skies I call dove gray. They developed into dove gray days that cocooned me and gave me excuses to stay home, cook , wear my gown all day, and read for hours. Without the rainy so-called days, would the sun shine brighter?
ReplyDeleteI feel you. Used to be Mondays always got me down. Sundays were dreadful because Monday came after. Did you know there's a syndrome for that? :) For real. The last six months or so I made a conscious decision to embrace it; knowing I wasn't alone makes it easier. I seldom have "Moan-days" now.
I would love a copy of the first photo. Will send you something special in return. I am quite smitten by your lovely note cards.
Be well, and let the sunshine in.
Wow. I just read Maryam's post here. Hope you check it out. :)
