Rainy Day Flowers

Today, after awakening to a complete downpour outside, decided to walk to work anyway. It took about twice as long once my flip flops were inundated with water, causing me to slip and slide like an idiot, but it really wasn't that bad. I did have to stop and wait under a tree at one point, as the water came down in sheets.

By eleven o'clock, the skies had cleared, the sun came out, and it was a gorgeous, warm spring day.

By 4:45, it was pouring again.

Jerk ass Mother Nature must have thought this was pretty funny, making us working types sit inside during the good, lovely sunshiney weather and force us to deal with the torrential rain once we finally escaped from our dungeons.

As I began my long walk home, I spotted a gorgeous flower, enjoying the rain. Then I saw another. And another!

And these are the moments for which I am glad I carry my camera around:

I like how everything is in focus except for the one in the foreground.

So I guess it wasn't such a bad day after all.
