To Much Rain For Me
OK…I’m pretty much done with rain. It’s been raining for a long time, now.
At first it was kind of nice. I enjoyed it because it made things smell nice and look fresh.
But now….I find myself wandering aimlessly around the house, looking out of the windows.
Feeling trapped and discouraged, slump shouldered, slack faced, slouched over, heavy legged, glaze eyed, foot draggy, dull minded, deep sighing, hopeless, grumpy, grouchy and crabby.
And I’ve developed a hundred-foot stare in a twenty-foot room.
That’s me. That’s how I’m beginning to describe myself nowadays.
I’m tellin’ you……I’ve had it with the rain.

Rainy Day Pictures
Well, at least I’m still occasionally forcing myself to get out and take some pictures, even in the rain.
I wear rain gear and still get plenty wet…but I’m getting used to it. I don’t use my best camera equipment either, just my kick around things, old lenses and camera bodies that have still better days but still take good pictures. Stuff that has seen plenty of falls, trips, drops…and of course, rain.
The pictures below were all taken in the rain up in Hatcher Pass. I’ve posted all of them to my web page at Fine Art America in the hopes of selling one or two.
That would be nice.
Maybe a picture sale or two would help me have a better attitude about this dang rain.

Alright, I feel better after posting those pictures.
I guess this IS Alaska after all. I should be used to the rainy summers by now, I’ve lived here for 24 or 25 years…or something like that.
Maybe I’ll just check outside to see what the weather’s like ’cause I’m getting the urge to go look for more pictures to take.
Hmmmm.
What a surprise.
It’s still raining.
