Raindrops

Too much rain in the woods can be dreary, but an afternoon of rain can be a welcome change from bright sun. It felt cosy to drive in the rain, just the two of us, stopping to get trail mix and juice at the little store in town. I like canoeing in a light rain or hiking in the rain, and the misty way the lake looks on rainy days. The roof outside our window at the inn was metal and amplified the sound of the rain, which made the bed inside the room that much cosier as we snuggled at night.

Nice photo, Jo(e). If you squinch up your eyes and stare at it awhile you can see the outline of a naked blogger two thirds of the way across the top northeast corner.

Rain on a metal roof. Competes only with the soft crackle of dying embers on stone as the sound of safety.
