Drips...

Nothin's Worryin' Me...

This morning it's raining so softly as to be mist-like. As I pulled up in the parking lot, this plant caught my eye because the sun sparkled off the droplets on it. I took a *bunch* of pictures of it.

And then of the plants next to it:And then of the grass outside the door:
Who knew water droplets could be so fascinatin'?

Bringing May Flowers

I think the truth is that I'm obsessed with clouds, not sunsets or sunrises... These were taken this morning on the way to work.

By 3 o'clock or so things had darkened into a wonderful spring rainstorm (a little thunder, but nothing too spectacular).
After we finally got the magazine put to bed today, I walked away from my desk out the front door. The rain smelled so good--I was simply unable to resist walking out into it. When I left the safety of the front overhang, it was sprinkling some, but by the time I turned the corner of the building it started pouring in earnest. :) So, I've had my first soaking of 2007--it was wonderful (if a bit chilly), and my coworkers were amused.
