and because it's raining it reminds me of living in Michigan where I grew up. Since it rained so much we had to modify our lives around the sun. When the sun came out we scampered outside as long as possible; we just never knew how long sunshine would last.
Bad weather can be a great thing; it makes me much more productive. I never would have made it through medical school with high marks if the beach was 2 miles away--as it is for UCLA.
In California I have the opposite problem. We are outside all the time. We have to look for reasons to get stuff done inside.
That is why I smiled when I woke up today and it was raining. I just knew I'd be getting stuff done today.
To honor Michigan todays photo is from West Bloomfield. Just off the side of the Drake Road.
I used selective focus. In photoshop I converted to LAB color and used apply image to pop the greens. This was followed by a medium shadow hilite filter.
