While complaints about the weather rank high on the list of things that make me want to pull my face off, I’m just an inch of rain away from releasing a rather feisty string of anti-weather words on the world. Rain has been a constant presence around here for weeks. Usually, really, I love the stuff–but enough is enough. Yet, realizing that the world did not need another weather whiner, I channeled my anti-weather fury into something positive. I waded through a flood of Flickr photos to find some right pretty rain. While rain falling on a NJ backyard like, say, mine, gets tired, rain falling over the spots below is a full-on event. (Click on each photo to see more of that photographer’s work.)

Beautiful pictures Jenna! It takes one to pick them out as well.
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed the photos.
