Yes, Virginia…

Amazingly, more rain.
And, for a non-sequitur, loved Tuesday’s Colbert.
…there is a Daft Punk.

Train rain terrain (no complain)
Sunday, 21 July 2013
We ventured out before the rain began. Yes, rain again. We now have had more rain this year than we did in all of 2012—without the July stats.
And it’s invigorating

I enjoy fog. Maybe if I had to commute in fog frequently or had it keep me land-bound, I’d feel different. But, mostly I get to look out at fog or walk around in it, without it limiting my activities. So, I find it special. It changes sound. It changes perceptions about the landscape. See, interesting.
Surface tension rocks

The rain gods checked in for a bit this morning.
So far, we are lucky, and the water level in Lake Lanier is holding its own. We can bathe up until the late-year rains arrive, I think.
Puffy clouds

Sometimes, this is what happens on a rainday—the sun comes out and mocks you as you do indoor work. Still, in this case, the indoor work was backlogged and now it isn’t.
To be fair, the rain didn’t totally stop until shortly after lunch.

No, the eagle didn’t hang around and wait for his/her fifteen minutes of fame.
We’re in another in what has become a series of wet days. Several minutes ago the bald eagle upped the interest level in this view. While the camera was pocketed.
Looking for Mary

Despite the cold snap, I see some ornamental trees are a-bloom….
As I sat waiting for a stoplight to green, my foot solidly on the brake, I could feel the car shuddering in the biting wind.
Poppins, that is.
Water levels up
Wednesday, 27 February 2013
I discovered on my perambulation this afternoon that Lake Clara Meer is full, slopping over, actually (after years of low-water)*. This means that the Piedmont Park managers have a good stash of water for the summer drought. And the Canada geese and Muscovy ducks have fewer nesting options.
Lake Lanier is also up, way up, and it’s a much larger reservoir. I think part of it is of course the rainfall, but also the dam controllers must not be pulling that much out….
Let there be light
Tuesday, 26 February 2013
A rainy overnight and morning transitioned into sun and fluffily clouds by late afternoon. I loved the light I found during a late-day walk, like this on a crepe myrtle.
Not so clear

Strange medallion decoration on the bridge crossing Clear Creek at the south end of Orme Park. The other day. When it was sunny.
No sunshine today; overcast became rain, then wind (shudder). A tornado messed up Adairsville, about 40 miles down I-75 from Ringgold, which got hit in April of last year. Temps are dropping from about 70°F this morning (weird) to a low of 35°F predicted overnight….
