Default Still a rainy week..

I was planning to shoot sunset this week, but I think it's impossible since it has been raining all week long haha. As for a compromise, I just shot leaves haha (what a poor compromise for sunset hehe). Thanks for viewing as always!

the leaf looks like its having a difficult time with the big drop of water hehe..

Lol, I know the feeling so well with the rain. These captures are amazing Paul. The colours are so vivid and the clarity of the water drops is excellent. Never mind buddy, make the most of all the rain.

Theres always something to shoot. You have found a great way to beat the rain.

I wish you could pack up some of that rain and send it or way Paul. It's been hot hot hot and very dry. You've made an exceptional compromise to the sunsets. Nice images my friend!

We've had lots of monsoon rain, too, also making outdoor shooting difficult. Getting struck by lightening is just not a good thing! Nor is getting the camera soaked. Nice compromise. Instead of an orange globe you give us minature green ones. The color and the drops are refreshing. Thanks.

Thank you Dave. The rain will just test my creativity to look for something to shoot! I know there are plenty, I just have to open my eyes hehe. Thanks!

Thank you Audrey! I am really hoping for that sunset shoot once the rain is over. I hope you will be able to get a good shoot today though!

Coming from the east coast, I never thought I would wish for rain, but now living here, I do find that's the case...nice shots.
