Rainy Day Women




After reading Amy's post, I'd say it's been a grey kind of day (there's been a lot of rain this week). Though I must admit, there's something nice about slow and lazy wet days, walking through the city with my coat wrapped around me and sipping hot drinks in cosy corners. Everything looks a little different and people become shadows, rushing through puddles on their way home.

Portlanders want to kill me when I say this, but I am actually looking forward to the rain. Somehow it gives me a sense of well-being... I am forced to slow down and take life in (preferably while snuggled up indoors).

Beautiful pictures!

The first photo in this post is amazingly beautiful, it has a quiet and soft quality.

Wow, these are fabulous, in the etymological sense of the word. I don't know enough about photography to know what exactly makes these marvelous. They hit me at the subconscious level, especially the one with two birds.

Bravo for visiting uncharted places of the self.

I loved the post..more than the rain itself it's nice to feel the lull when it gets dark by midday and is windy and the earth smells wet and yes, everything does seem different. Nothing like a cappuccino in a cafe with big glass doors:)
