It rained off and on today! I had to get outside to the enjoy the light but my camera had to stay inside. I shot this thru the doorway. Aren't the colors amazing on a rainy day!

In the Daily Self Portraits photo essay.

    I agree with both Don and Judy : ). The colors are more vivid after the rain washes off the dirt!

    I love these rainy day shots where you can step out in the rain while the camera stays dry in the doorway...This is beautiful of you and I like how the leaves make a frame around you.

    Regenia, you and I have discussed your genealogy, but I don't think any more proof is needed that you are Native American (i part). My goodness, when I first looked, I thought this was a ceremony. The "look" is certainly authentic.

    Van Gogh used to say that colors were more intense at night, which falls in line with your view of colors in the rain.

    I do agree with Van Gogh Kevin! I have been on drives when the sun was setting and I had to pull over to catch my breath. I love to watch the gold move over the land as the darkness covers it.
