Too bad it's not yet midnight here -- there's a gentle rain plus a nice light show going on right now.

Thanks for hosting us this week Al. It's a terrific theme and your examples have really gotten me rolling on this one. Thunderstorms forecast for most of the afternoon. Let's see what I can capture.

OMG! When I first glanced at this, I thought you wrote "...there's a gentle rain plus a nice light SNOW going on...". You scared me.

Let's see .... besides sun and rain, what do we have? Clouds. Okay, we've eliminated clouds! Now if it would just sun or rain!

Should be fun, Al. Thanks.

We had a frog-strangler last evening...alas, too early for this week's shoot. Maybe tomorrow.

At least you'll have a lot of subject material!

Thanks Paul

Well, I am guessing that "Jake the Snake" (foreground on rocks) was someones son. There is rain in the forecast.​

 

[AlJohnston]

Cool shot Ed, nice interpretation

I went to the beach today, to catch some early pictures of the 16th Master Sculptures' Contest. The judging is later today, so most of the sculptures were pretty close to being done. Here are some of the ones I really liked:
