puddle jumping

It's raining, it's pouring ...

An arrangement in black and white, or is it?

I actually love the rain, so to me it is a very beautiful day, indeed. I think the birds love it too, because they are all out playing.

Two of these photos are actually in color; the other two I changed to black and white. The funny thing is, at first glance they all look like black and white photos.

Were you able to tell which two are color and which two are not at your first glance? If you looked closer at each photo, that was cheating. After you made your guess it is fine for you to look closer at the photos; the leaves will give it away.

If you click on the second photo, it looks much neater in actual size. In this little version you can't really see the rain hitting the puddle; has much more detail than what this looks like. Trust me or, hey, click on it and see for yourself.

A rain drop hit this puddle right as I was about to take a photo. I had it on multi-shot so I caught the rain drop right after it hit the water causing the bubble in the water. The next photo was right after it popped; see the ripples.

I was going to take some photos of the mountains around my house, but there are too many phone lines. Maybe tomorrow, if it is another rainy day, I'll take one when I take my kids to school. There is a pretty view of the mountains from the play ground with no telephone lines. Yuck! Phone lines just wreck a photo if you don't want them.
