Wonderful photos. I agree that rainy days deserve photographs too.
We had a very unseasonably cold day yesterday. 84 F for the high and most of the day was in the low 70s with a nice gentle rain. It's 67f right now. Will make great walking conditions for Sam.
The Navajo would call yesterday's rain a Winter rain. Summer rain comes violently with a thunderstorm...
I used to enjoy the summer rains in California. As a kid I always thought it magical that I could stand in the sun in my driveway and watch the neighbors driveway get drenched in a torrential down pour.
