Kangaroo Paw in my front yard on The Day Of The Rain (27 February). I was raised in the desert southwest, so you will forgive my fascination with rain.

Rain is magical, no more so than in the desert. The spell of greenery deftly catching quivering pak-lets of life from the sky… as you have nicely captured here.

Thank you Eric. I do love the rain, and for me it feels magical, as you say. If I could be out in it with my camera, I would.

I bought a waterproof camera a couple of years ago, mostly to shoot underwater where it works fine. At some point I thought “Cool, I can take pictures in the rain!”
Wrong. Raindrops on a camera lens are hard to work around.

When I was leaving for my Costa Rica vacation, I bought a big ugly camera bag thingy with drawstring holes for my hands & another drawstring hole for the lens. Cumbersome, next to impossible to use. Wish I had the money back on that one. I have also tried the camera strap around my neck & holding umbrella in my armpit while trying to get a picture in the rain. None of those came out either. So now I just stand on my porch and admire my good fortune with the rain pouring through the downspouts.
