Rainy and dreary day today.  We had some freezing rain right around rush hour this morning and there were 70 accidents in our county alone.  I made it to work without any problems – thank goodness.  It was still raining when i left work and it was foggy so decided to stop at the park on the way home to see if I could find any good photo ops.   If you could look closely you can see the Severn River bridge in the background.

Woke up to a thunderstorm this morning.  While driving to work the weather forecasters predict occasional rain showers today.  Wait a minute – it’s been raining for over an hour – I don’t think this is a shower.  It rained all day and it’s still raining.  Took this photo from our office window late this afternoon.  You can see how gray and overcast it is.  You can barely make out the cruise ship in the background.

Another rainy day in Baltimore.  I do not have an office – just a cubicle.  When I was on the way back to my cube I noticed that it was really dark outside and then all of a sudden it started pouring.  I have never seen it rain this hard.  It looked like a waterfall between the federal building and the building next door. I tried to take some pictures but it was hard with all the reflections.  This one gives you an idea of how hard it was raining.   Walked to the other side of the office to look out the window and could barely see the Constellation ship in the Inner Harbor.  Even though it was quitting time there was no way was I going to venture out in that.  Thank goodness 15 minutes later it stopped and everything was clear. Managed to make it almost all the way home before it started raining again.  Rain is in the forecast for the next few days.

Some people like to walk in the rain but the passionate photographer is out looking for a good photo.  Tropical Storm Andrea hit Maryland last last night and it’s still raining and supposed to rain until late tonight.  We went to our usual Friday night wine and cheese tasting and then were heading out to dinner in Annapolis but traffic was at a standstill so we headed home.  After I grabbed a bite to eat headed out to the yard.  The lilies just started to bloom a couple of days ago and a couple of them are in full bloom.  It was hard to decide which pictures I liked the most.  Guess that means I am improving.

Just singing in the rain.  Another warm and humid day so we did not venture out this afternoon.  Just after we finished grilling tonight the rain started – usually it starts raining when we are grilling but it held off tonight.  Decided to get my newest rubber ducks and see if I could get a good photo.  Put the ducks on the porch and then left the sliding glass door open and sat on family room floor and took some photos.    I was hoping to capture rain drops but guess it was not raining hard enough.  I do like the reflections.  We do need the rain – grass was starting to turn brown and some of the flowers were wilting.

The weather forecasters were predicting 3 to 5 inches in our area.  I was excited – I can get some more snow pictures.  But – the storm did not track like they thought and all we got was rain, rain and more rain.  So since photo ops were limited today, I decided to take a picture of our family room window to show the rain.

Hurricane Sandy has arrived.  It rained all day.  We managed to go to the mall to get a new food processor that I have been wanting and then saw the movie Argo – great movie.  Then headed home to “hunker down”.   I took this picture of the deck from our dining room.
