Default Grey Day

Hey I got away from work early and the sun was shining. Went to Sainsbury's for the weekly shot and it was greying over. Got home, sat in the garden with a Stella and it started raining.

Sod it!

So rainy we didn't have time to put the garden sunshade up
Grey Day

So put on the loupe and shot raindrops as abstracts

Rotated 180

I've been complaining about the rain and now I'm seeing I just haven't been thinking out of the box. Nice shots!

If one makes hay while the sun shines, you have certainly reversed the trend and made art when the rain falls. Golly, each drop is a little frameable masterpience Sweet use of dashed expectations.

I do so agree with David, I always look out for your work Nathan, you are extremely creative, although I can't pretend I always get it, I have never failed to enjoy the journey.
These pictures are very good, and interesting because I recently captured some that were very much the same, but bearing in mind the amount of rain over the last couple of days, perhaps thats not too much of a coincidence.
I think yours are better anyway

regards beach
