A Rainy Sunday: A Photo Blog

Who said rainy days had to be dull, dismal days? The truth is, they don't have to be. A rainy Sunday can be just as just as fun as clear, sunny afternoon. You may get damp from the walk from the parking lot to the front door of the mall, or coffee shop but that's the fun part. To me a grey sky that's pouring it's regular dose of moisture is just an invitation to venture out into the world. The bookstores are a wonderful place to spend a rainy afternoon. It sets a fantastic mood to check out the latest novels while the raindrops on the windows distort the outside world into a smudge of colors. Today it rained all day long. I think there may have been few brief moments that the sky was dry, but they were short breaks. While I was out today I decided to capture he beauty of the rainy Sunday that it was.
