The Rainy Blues

The Rainy Blues, originally uploaded by Coldnorthtoy.

Since I have to start somewhere, I might as well start with the photo I've chosen to include in my sidebar.

On this particular day, August 13, I finally set up the awning over our sailboat's cockpit, but not before everything was thoroughly soaked - including me.

As I hid under the awning enjoying the sights and sounds of an incredibly forceful downpour, this caught my eye; it just looked so amazing, so I ran in and got our camera and started shooting.

Every time I see this picture it amazes me.

Shot with our Nikon D40 and our Nikon 55-200mm VR. Click on the photo for more details.
