It was a nice, cool and sunny day. Than it decided to rain. Hard. However the sun didn’t disappear.

There is a term in Russian for it — “слепой дождик” which literally means “blind rain”. Turns out there is a term for it in English too — “sunshower”. I never heard it before. Also turns out there is a whole article on Wikipedia about it.

You probably should add the Russian terminology to the Wiki entry.

Yeah, I noticed that they didn’t have “слепой дождик” and only had “грибной дождик” — “mushroom rain” for those how doesn’t speak Russian.

Now we have to figure out how to edit that wiki. I’ve never done it.

Yesterday we drove out to Floyd Bennett Field to give Alena some driving lessons. She’s got her Learner’s Permit this Monday.

Just two random photos from the series. “Get out of my way, I don’t care to know where my brake pedal is.” And “Get out of my way, I don’t know where my brake pedal is.”

Then it started raining. And it keeps taking breaks and then resuming again. And it keeps going still. I want to publish a photo, but there is already one posted that represents the mood just right.

And on a different topic we ordered a pair of Obama t-shirts with Alena. The site advised to get one size bigger then you normally get and while that works fine for me it was a mistake for Alena. We’ll see if it shrinks after a wash.

P.S. Yes, I know. Car wash. Must take car to.

Here’s another photograph from my favorite series it seems.

It’s been a rainy day, but unlike usually rainy days this one doesn’t seem too depressing. I guess it’s because all the trees are finally turning green and there is spring in the air after a long gray winter.

The photo is an HDR composed of 3 images. The bright white circles that are visible in some portions of the picture are drops of rain.

Good picture, view is impressive.
But rain today was rather heavy, especially in the morning. I was glad to be able to stay at home.

Thank you.

It’s been raining all day and it’s still raining. We just watched a sad movie and I’m becoming a bit depressed.

It’s been raining all evening yesterday, then it rained all night, and it’s still raining today. The streets look so unwelcoming today that you just want to stay inside and only glance at it from behind the closed windows covered in rain drops.

But then again, in order to appreciate the sun and blue skies you probably do need to have days like these.

The picture to the left is another HDR completed from a single shot taken in RAW format.

А по фотографии и не скажешь, что так уж и не уютно…
