two seconds of sunlight...





yes... it is winter here in the pacific northwest... which means hardly any sun. And when there IS sun- i'm usually indoors working. Sigh... how i have missed the sun.
BUT TODAY was about to be a fiasco!
i drove all the freakin' way to Seattle to pick up my 4x5 negatives from being developed- but no dice. Ivey was closed. CLOSED ON SATURDAY!? who is closed on SATURDAY?! sigh.

So i drove all the way home empty-handed in the rain, ONLY to NOTICE the SUN had come OUT to visit for a few moments. And lo and behold- part (and by part, i mean a measly single branch) or my neighbor's christmas tree was hanging out in their yard... with the sun shining on it!
Now, only twenty or so minutes later, it's dark again outside and the sun is gone.

but i captured a piece of it!!

I am from Bainbridge Island, I know all toooooo well the weather, so even more impressive that you caught the sun. What detail, I love the drops of rain, so neat!

Glad you got out there while the sun came out for a few minutes. Your shots are wonderful!

like your perspective on the last one--very cool. btw, my dd loves your little 'quack, quack' as she calls it---your picture icon in your siggy--she just gave him a kiss! :)

That's a different and interesting angle in the third one. I love water droplet photos.
