Man, the bottom has fell out, and the rain is for sure falling out of the dark clouds in the sky. A half hour ago I looked through the outside door that's wide open to the east, and the sunset was shining under the rain clouds through a small break, reflecting off the pond at the bottom of the hill and lighting up the tops of the solo pine trees left over from the hurricanes. I had just put new batteries in my camera, so I snapped off a few shots before the light got gone. Now, if I can find that mini USB cable I'm gone download them on to my computer to see if what I saw shows up.
I haven't used this camera very much since I bought it. I knew from my past bad habits that about the only way I'm going to take many photographs is outta guilt that I bought it. I read reviews and kept my eye out for a camera that was a little bit better than I'd ever learn how to use and a little bit more expensive than I could afford. Of course, right after I bought it the new models came out and if I'd ah waited just another week or two I coulda bought it for a hundred bucks less. Still and all, for buying a digital camera that don't need a darkroom and all them chemicals just to see if I'd take to it, I didn't do bad.
The picture above is of a similar situation a few years ago. It wasn't raining like it is now, but it was around sunset and the sun was already beneath the horizon, but the light was bouncing off the bottom of the clouds down on to the pond below my house, and reflecting up through the woods so that it made the woods look a little bit like they were on fire.
