Last night my wife and I got caught in a sudden downpour while on a mid evening stroll in my mother-in-law's neighborhood. The rain had come and gone a couple of times earlier in the afternoon/early evening and we thought the front had moved through? Wrong!
Being a couple of kilometers from home we sloshed our way through the puddles and over the wet grass of playing fields etc to see if we could find a short cut to get out of the rain earlier....it didn't happen....we got soaked. It was a very tactile experience and actually fun on many fronts. It wasn't cold and we had the neighborhood to ourselves. . We went through alleys and saw lots of interesting gardens and backyards in varying states from incredibly manicured to abandoned and neglected. Ah--the stories these houses could tell???
About a block from my mother-in-laws the rain stopped and all of a sudden some wonderful light started to break through the clouds. The reflection in the puddles was amazing....there would have been some great picture possibilities but unfortunately we had no camera .....
