some days

Some days are like this: Grey and clear, mountains in the background and a whole lot of chatter in your mind. This and that and the other unimportant-and-yet-ever-nagging thing clamoring for focus. Some days are like that: Less cluttered and your mind feels clear.

I like to utilize photos and visual props. For instance, a fantastic moment for this woman's hair. She's another one of those ladies who sits around looking amazing, irregardless of the fact that she is quite possibly wearing her boyfriend's clothing from the mid-90's.

I also wanted to put to use this really fabulous moment for the weather. This was caught as snow was falling outside my window, and after a few hours the weather visual seemed to decide, "Snow is fun, but what I'd rather be doing is plip-plopping."

Some day are like that.

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.
