Pleasant Summer Sunday

Sunday 5th June - Day 169

What to do today? Stare at the rain against the windows all day, in the warmth, or venture out for a photograph... well, madness won through eventually.... armed with umbrella over tripod, the mood was very subdued outside - I think though that the weather had been waiting for me to venture out, because it then got much wetter again!

One of the locals enjoying the weather :)

It's almost an impressionist painting. You have my respect for venturing out in the rain!

Can't you do something about the weather except enjoy it and shoot great atmospheric photos.

I wish you could see my 'winter' day ... warm, sunny, T-shirt weather, and not a raincloud in sight ... lots of fluffy, white clouds against a beautiful blue sky! Wann swap vistas??? ;)

I'm sure umbrellas were invented for photographers as well as people who go to Wimbledon each year :>)

Oh, hats off for venturing out Lee. Had it been that grim here, I'd have done an indoor shot:-)
