Rainy Day  by laurentye

Rainy Day

I absolutely love the rain. I seriously do. There is something so great about cloudy, grey, rainy days.

I'm happy when my shoes are wet and my clothes soaked.
I spent the afternoon outside walking around in the rain, listening to music (Switchfoot, who I've just discovered), with some nice hot tea in one hand, and my umbrella in the other. I made sure to step in the puddles a little harder than necessary, which of course is always fun!

When I returned home I was soaking wet, the bottom of my jeans were covered in mud, and I was a bit cold.

Now I've changed into warm, dry clothes, and am sitting here with a blanket and hot chocolate. I'm happy.


"Don't close your eyes
this is your life and today is all you've got...
...today is all you'll ever have" - Switchfoot
This is really cool! Love the rain and B&W!!

@jgoldrup thanks Janna I should clarify. I like wet feet outside, but the soon as I got in the house I had to put dry stuff on

@pilots_wife @pilots_wife thanks you!

@cynak yeah, falling asleep with rain is wonderful. the best though is falling asleep with thunder!

@sabrinaromahn thank you Sabrina! unfortunately the rain was a bit on the cool side, but it was great
May 8th, 2011  
Very cool rainy day pix!!
May 8th, 2011  
Collages are a weak point for me, so this is definitely a fav! But one of my least favorite things would be wet socks...
May 8th, 2011  
great series
May 8th, 2011  
Great feature with wonderful captures, perfect in b&w.
May 8th, 2011  
Excellent collage, Lauren. I love walking in the rain too as long as it's not to cold and windy lol
May 8th, 2011  
Instant fav from me Lauren not sure where to start on this one as a whole I think this is AAU but each individual shot is also AAU in it's own right. BTW faved on 1st sight also. I also liked the commentary but need to look up Switchfoot as I've never heard of them. Amazing montage
May 8th, 2011  
I think the best thing about getting all wet in the rain is getting in, having a hot shower and being dry and warm :) Thanks for sharing your fun day :)
May 8th, 2011  
Just listened to Switchfoot I now need to go on Amazon & get an album :-)
May 8th, 2011

appologies for the group thank you if they aren't your thing, but i'm heading to bed soon and would like to say that these comments have made my day. so thank you very much. i had mixed feeling about this picture so am really appreciative of your comments and those that faved this. This is one of those pictures that I liked because of it's meaning to me and the fun i had in the rain that day, but wasn't sure if it would be a nice picture for other people to look at. so thank you :)

Found this on the pop page............how different and interesting. I just couldn't work it out from the thumbnail! Here in eastern Uk we haven't had any rain for 8 weeks,....send some over! I cannot agree with your 'wet' sentiments but you certainly give us a sense of what you feel with this collage. Great!
May 9th, 2011  
Wonderful collage!

Absolutely love this collage! It is such a perfect representation of how you feel about rainy days. There is nothing dreary and gloomy about the feeling of this photo at all!

Great collage. I have to admit, I have a fondness for rainy days also.

This is just the neatest collage. Mostly for the emotion they convey so very fluidly.
