Day 216.... changing weather

Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while. ~Kin Hubbard

After some beautiful weather over the last week, Winter has returned... the temp dropped and the rain fell.   

Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.
Roger Miller

and some of us stop and take photos of puddles.

I started work at 5 this morning, it was dark and cold outside, later I looked out the window and the winter sun was shining.

When I finished at 1, the winter sun was once again hiding behind the rain clouds but as I walked to the car, this puddle caught my eye...

Day 147... magic

If there is magic on the planet, it is contained in the water.

- Loren Eisley

Winter has not even begun yet this is my third photo in less than a week of raindrops

Day 145... raindrops

Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth;

without rain, there would be no life.

- John Updike

 

I got caught in the rain at lunch time today and for cover sat in my car until it had passed, the front windscreen became a blur of water but the side windows caught my eye.

Day 142... raindrops

“Sometimes I see myself as a child in a rain storm, running around trying to catch all the drops in his mouth. I long for your adventures to be like the raindrops the child saves and not those which crash to the ground.”

I don't catch the raindrops in my mouth but I do want to catch them in photos... it may official be Autumn but the weather is becoming more and more wintry

Day 13... in the rain

In Adelaide today we had summer rain and so out to the garden I headed...


The way the water was running down our resident gargoyle made him seem like he was about to come to life...

 

The rain also made some pretty things look good as well...
