Rain

Call me crazy, but I love a rainy day. I took some pictures outside my door in the sports mode setting to catch the rain falling. I love using sports mode, the pictures sometimes aren't as clear, again learning, learning, learning...but it's cool. Especially taking pictures of the kids, they always move, I use the sports mode most of the time when taking their pictures even when it's not one of their games.

Back to my love of a rainy day. Don't get me wrong, we've had too much, I know, dangerously too much in some areas. I don't like driving in it or being wet when I get to work or somewhere other than home. But I find some comfort in it. I'm sure part of it is wrapped up in memories of being young, all snuggled on the couch watching TV. That safe home feeling. Even now I love when it rains on a day I'm off and I can take a nap on the couch listening to the rain falling down. And of course part has to be from the movie "Singing In the Rain". If you know the song, haven't you at least once had Gene Kelly's voice in your head while walking in the rain? "Do do do do do....". And the GE commercial with the elephant dancing to "Singing in the Rain", tell me you didn't just love it! If you haven't seen it I've posted it below.



Go out in the rain and splash your feet in puddles, put your face up towards the sky and let the rain fall over all your face, catch it on your tongue, sing OUT LOUD or in your head, be a kid in the rain again!

Do, do, do, do, do, do....
