Question Photographer's Block during Monsoon Season.... Help!!

I don't know what to do. I had a real good burst of creative energy during the Winter and Spring seasons but now...beginning of summer and it's raining or thundering all day and night. Most years we get about an inch of rain for the entire year. We're past that now after only a month. What can I do to keep my photo hobby active? I did just buy a flash. So that'll be fun. But inspiration???? no clue. help?

On these kind of days I am looking forward to playing with water drops, reflections, drips, crowns and such. Shmelly did some cool stuff with water drops on a CD that I am wanting to try also http://digital-photography-school.co...9-rejects.html . I also want to play with smoke Smoke SPIRAL Just a few suggestions. I hope someone else comes along with more.
I think it also a good time to brush up on some of my Photoshop skills.

It's been raining a lot here too, lately, and I have been trying to gain inspiration as well. I have had an idea in mind for a photo with a person in the rain, with a slower shutter speed to show the rain drops. I think that would be a fantastic image if I could get it right.
