Come spend a rainy season in Seattle. It’s so different from “stormy” rain: persistent, at time-never-ending, and most days intermittent and for most of us a non-umbrella event. I like to think of it as nourishing and making our trees whisper. You would have fun in a rain forest.

I got it in high school at a quirky little shop at which time I stuck it to the inside the driver side door of my beat up jeep cherokee. Where it sits now my 10 year old son likes to read it over and over again. On it’s fading blue background it says simply “Some people walk in the rain. Others just get wet.” I wasn’t quite certain of it’s intended meaning at the time but I was drawn to it…I get it now. A few years ago I was out with coworkers and friends at a bar by the beach when it started raining. Everyone ran in to huddle under the eaves and in the doorways. I looked at them and for the first time questioned this instinct…I smiled as I handed off my flimsy sweatshirt to a friend and ran out into the wet sand to frolic and spin around in the rain with my face to the sky while everyone hid themselves away. It remains one of the most beautiful moments in my life. That silly old magnet is a reminder to me every day that you can choose to sit back and let life happen to you – be a victim or a bystander. Or you can choose to jump in passionately with both feet really experience your life in first person. Life is all how you look at it. Personally, I will always choose to walk in the rain. It seems I’ll be in good company πŸ™‚

And thunderheads are one of my absolute favorite things to photograph. Here are some of my better thunderhead photos. πŸ™‚ https://flic.kr/s/aHskZ8twFz
I would like to get one of those cheap waterproof bag for my camera, so I can shoot in the rain.
Rain is a funny thing, it is uncomfortable until you are wet, but once you are soaked it is so comfortable. You kinda become part of the rain.
I love this photo, it has a lot of emotion in it.
