Rain!!!

Many of you will think I’m crazy but anybody who lives in our Mediterranean climate that gets a total of 17 inches of rain a year and virtually none between April and October will understand: I’m excited because it finally rained. Not a lot, but enough to get everything wet. More rain is on the way for the weekend, and plants are loving it. Humans, too—especially this one since I can now turn off the lawn sprinklers and drip irrigation.

As soon as it was light enough this morning I got out the 180mm macro lens I’m currently borrowing from a friend and took a series of rain-inspired photos. I hope you’ll enjoy looking at them as much as I did taking them.
