Learning To Dance In The Rain

It was a sudden downpour, creating puddles  along the streets and ripples on our small garden pond.  The leaves of the trees finally got the chance to get wet and cleaned from the daily grime and dust of the city.  How  wonderful to watch this sudden December rain.  There were times during the previous months that I was afraid of  the rain, some sort of phobia  from the onslaught of typhoon Ondoy.  Time heals though,  and I am more optimistic now that it won’t happen again.

Don’t you just love this sudden burst of raindrops?  Were you ever tempted to let the rain soak your skin?

I’ve always been tempted to capture raindrops and freeze them forever in a photograph . There is something so refreshing seeing those crystal clear water droplets.  Here’s another attempt at a macro shot, a favorite medium in photography.  And again this somehow reminds me of this quote:

Life isn’t about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.
