7 Raindrops

Melbourne, Australia

Raindrops on my window washing away the dirt piled up by years of drought.
Having lived most of my years in North-West Europe rain was almost a common part of daily life.
It is such an absurd experience that now living in the South-East corner of Australia every water drop what falls from the sky count.
And instead of getting grumpy because of getting wet there is only the joy about the raindrops.

Great image, it is nice when it rains but sometimes having a window helps the pleasure.

Rain is a precious commodity. I can't imagine living somewhere where droughts are the norm.

We live in a very 'rainy' part of Britain, but I have
to say I love it, it makes everything green and lush.

I know exactly what you mean Mieke - we LOVE rain & can't get enough of it!
Wish my window looked like yours - what a great shot!
