Raindrops

As a photographer, I'm always watching for those sunny days to get the best lighting for pictures.  But then I realized that I'm giving you entirely the wrong impression of our changing seasons - because lots of days in the fall especially are grey and rainy.  In fact we're just finished 6 days of rain in a row.  Frustrating when you're trying to get the fall chores done and get out and take pictures too.

So in search of a more honest portrayal of seasons, here are some raindrops!  Most of these are White Ash leaves right here at home.

I've noticed that the raindrops seem to sit and stay when the leaf is upside down, on the back of the leaf, but they seem to run off on the front of the leaves.

This is a deeply indented Silver Maple leaf, lying on our patio, the dark grey concrete as a background.

I just thought these pictures represented so well what the last few days have been like.

We've had so much rain that we even have streams running where I've never seen them before.  It reminds me of the spring run-off in April.

Hope you appreciate my more balanced portrayal of the seasons!!!  (Today was sunny, and I got a lot of outdoor work done for a change).
