rain rain

The world is quite rainy today, and rather than fuss and fester over it I thought I'd poke around and find some nice photographs.

I found quite a lot of nice photos of rain. I'd like to say it was enough to make me appreciate our recent downpours that have now taken us into our near-65th day of showers (it might even be 165th, at least that what it feels like) but no. I still feel a little bitter.

I don't like getting wet every day. I do, however, like stomping in mud puddles. I don't like walking the pup down muddy roadways with giant potholes. He does, which makes it seem not quite so bad. How can it be bad when Pup is happily prancing around and sniffing?

Rain, the pros: the world smells a little sweeter after it rains. Things are clean, grass is greener, and it's like a magical carwash.
