Description
I just don't understand Florida weather sometimes... ok well I do understand it, in that I predicted exactly what would happen today, but that doesn't mean I get why on Earth it happens... I was busy cleaning my room, when I hear thunder, quite loud too... And the sun is shining brightly... And I realize it's about to do this crazy thing it does in Florida, downpour while the sun is shining for like 10 minutes, then stop... So I quickly change into a fun summer dress, and had intentions of carrying my camera and tripod downstairs to the alleyway, where they would be safe from the rain, but I could get out in it and get a shot... And by then the rain had started... yup, torrential downpour... But with crazy wind... It was practically blowing sideways, so I quickly scrapped the idea of taking my camera outside and set up inside my living room shooting out onto my balcony instead. Since the rain had been blowing sideways, my covered balcony was all wet, so it worked out(and totally unrelated, but what's with the new 'critique' button? I selected it on a couple of shots today, but I've still yet to discover what's up with all that... when I view the deviation, a box--that I think only I can see--comes up above the comments section, that looks like what the comments section looks like when no one has commented yet, except there is no entry box for anyone to input critiques on, eh whatever, I'll figure it out later I'm sure...)

Can't wait for a torrential downpour here. Usually comes in summertime. Got a great idea for an after-the-storm shot and even a macro today.
This did turn out quite well, in spite of the compromises, I think. The door frame wouldn't have been that bad to put in, though. Usually helps frame a shot all the more.

It's a pretty dress.
But a pretty dress is redundant on a woman this pretty.

Your Florida weather must have came all the way to Illinois because we had rain also. It rains then the sunshine comes out and then it starts to rain again I agree that i wish you could have gotten more of your reflection in but it still looks nice and the rain does add something more to the picture

hehe.... well here it seems it never starts again... it's just like rain, and then 15 minutes later everything is dry (but way more humid than before) and all is forgotten...

Well, it's the opposite here. It will rain, then afterward, it gets very cold You might think Florida weather is weird but try to experiencing illinois weather...lol. In one day, we had rain, a tornado watch, and then a snowstorm...lol. Very exciting.

Your feet look lovely like that with your toes pointing and the arch upwards. And Mr. Dragon got to take a shower!
You look cute in that dress. And btw, it looks like you're skating!
It looks very refreshing. Faved.

Yeah but if you walking where it's not dirty and it's just water, it's soothing.
