A Rainy Photoessay for Humungus

[fish]

Okay YFF...here is a photoessay I produced just for you. No, there aren't any pictures of biting spiders, stinging plants, or swimming holes. No, it's just another gloomy, rainy day in San Jose. But I went outside. And I did this ALL for you. So bite my butt, ya drongo.

Wet wet wet...is it time to build an ark yet?

Nothing like a nice hot cuppa joe to warm the spirit on a gloomy day.

Funny how large bodies of water don't bother people, but the small flying kind does. :rofl

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

Not a fun day to be an illegal alien construction worker.

Even the upper crust stayed home on this rainy day. Well hell...somebody's got to hang out by the fire, drink martinis, and count their money.

So THAT'S where Brown hangs out when he's not delivering camera and motorcycle goodies to me. Are you on a first name basis with your Brown man, hummer? I'll bet Andy is :rofl

One of the 3 or 4 umbrellas in the entire city (it doesn't rain here much).

Finally, a little rainbow emerging from the gloom.

thanks ian. did you ditch work today?

[ian408]

thanks ian. did you ditch work today?
I did. But as I was getting into the truck, the sky opened up and it just
dumped. No shooting for me. It was looking pretty promising this afternoon
too.

It's ok. Our new bosses are letting us out early tomorrow.

I kept looking and looking and looking, but never did spot a rainbow!

I kept looking and looking and looking, but never did spot a rainbow! It's kinda subtle. Here...I burned and saturated for you. Can you see it now?

And it was quite viewable -- I meant on my trip to photograph the antique gas pumps I kept looking for a rainbow and never did see one, so I'm glad someone saw one :-)

[fish]

:doh i thought you meant in that photo. :rofl

[Nir]
