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 then I had taken maybe 8 or 9 shots, and then it stopped raining, boo... I still took a few more shots after the rain stopped, but the ones with the rain in the background just looked best to me... I would like to have had a little more of my reflection in the shot, but this was as wide as I could get without getting the door frame in the shot...

(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...)
