We just had a fantastic rainstorm and I took a few photos with my crappy digital camera. A few didn’t come out, and the rain didn’t appear quite like I wanted it to, but all in all, fairly nice shots, I think.

The lighting was fantastic — with the sun shining through the trees, it caught the wildly bouncing leaves and the glittered drops with a kind of sharpness that you don’t always get with heavy downpours. It’s especially green here now, and we’re starting to get more and more of these kinds of showers.

I gotta say, I’m a fan.


That rainstorm was awesome! I enjoy a good storm, and though they THINK they get storms here in the rainy season, they just don’t know what they’re talking about. It amuses me that it’s just getting super green there, right as the super green here is fading into “golden.” Cool pics.
Thanks! Yeah, it was a great storm. I stood out there and just watched it descend. I wish I could have had a camera right out in the middle of it.
Instead, I had to take these from the safety of my little stoop.
