Wet

It rained and it rained! My poor Mr and Mrs Owl in spite of their umbrella, got so wet!

Three good Things;
1. Inside all day and lots of catching up on recorded programmes.
2. A new communication from my older Sister’s will via her great helper - two paintings she willed to an art gallery and who don’t want them! I do.. hope they get in touch.
3. Have you ever tried red wine while eating chocolates! Must be good for you!

Such a charming pair - they certainly need a bigger umbrella !! A lovely shot Maggie with the sharp focus on their shiny bodies and the rain drops against a beautiful bokeh background - love it and a fav .

Fancy an Art Gallery refusing a donation in a will ! I would feel very offended ! and I hope you will get them soon ! - Love your no 3 !

[Maggiemae]

@beryl Thanks Beryl... the gallery say they have enough paintings by that artist. If they are by whom I think they are, I've got two already and two more would make an art gallery and I could charge people to see them?

[Susan]

We are same here, cloudy, rainy and dull. Cute capture.

[Valerie Chesney]

Raining here today too....Love this capture & the raindrops...

[Helen Jane]

Red wine and chocolate - two of my favourites, but I prefer to keep them separate. Everyone seems to be struggling with rain a the moment. Hope Mr and Mrs Owl get to dry out soon.

[Maggiemae]

@helenhall Mr and Mrs Owl's umbrella has now turned into a sun umbrella! They don't want to get any browner!

[Islandgirl]

Wine and chocolates are great!
Cute shot with the rain drops!

[katy]

great shot of your couple. Good luck with the gallery and send me soe of that wine and chocolate will you?

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn I would if I could but I can't so I won't, Katy!

[katy]

@maggiemae LOL! I say that all the time MM!

[Marnie]

Red wine and choccy? Yummo. Fingers crossed you get the spurned paintings.

[Bankmann]

*chuckle*

I love this image and it's wonderful tones. Lovely focus on the Owls and droplets. Many wine estates here to chocolate and red wine pairings, so it must be good.

[Casablanca]

They look like they are enjoying the rain to me. Happily out there chatting and watching the world go by.......

[Maggiemae]

@casablanca Do you think they are saying, "Too wet to woo?

[Maggiemae]

@ludwigsdiana It might be a new venture - like wine and cheese!

[Casablanca]

@maggiemae You just made me choke on my cup of tea!! Ha ha, witty. Or too witty too woo.

[Brennie B]

So shiney and cute.colors blend in beautifully.red wine and choc..my kinda girl!

[Maggiemae]

@brennieb Maybe I should try for a 'still' - A piece of delicious dark chocolate holding over a beautiful long stemmed glass of red?

[Dione Giorgio]

Cute shot. They don't seem to mind the rain because the umbrella is not covering them.

[Babs]

Aw hope they dry out soon. I love your reply to casablanca very clever reply

[Lou Ann]

Red wine and chocolate is a match made in Heaven!

[Richard Sayer]

Our local oldies like red wine with sponge cake as 'goûter' at the end of the afternoon. The first time I was offered it, I thought 'no way' but I'm now a convert - they go together surprisingly well.

[Bep]

I love this image, Maggie (I have a weak spot for owls...).

[Lois P]

Terrific capture

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Mr & Mrs owl look unperturbed by the inclement weather. Lovely shot

[Ann Williams]

Aw, bless them. I love this rear view of them.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I'm afraid Mr. and Mrs. wouldn't fare much better here- we're in day 2 of rain, rain, rain!

How crazy is that- an art museum not wanting art?!
And I have heard that dark chocolate and good red wine are beneficial to one's health- antioxidants and such- but I think they are even more beneficial to one's emotional state of mind!

[Leslie]

They sure have a wonderful view

[haskar]

Cute shot. They look so happy. I think they like rain.

[Maggiemae]

@olivetreeann It would then be endorphins, Ann - the pleasure of chocolate in your mouth!

[Nina Ganci]

adorable! wow

[FBailey]

Lovely bokeh, cute pair

[Phil Howcroft]

ooooh brilliant maggie, i love them

[CC Folk]

This is darling! What a sweet couple! :)
Try a dessert wine and chocolate...YUM!
