It was my day off today and really hoped to go out with the rollei, but we had a day of incessant rain, again. Still, I was determined to do some photography, so invented a waterproof housing for the fuji (a freezer bag and cat collar) attached it to my trusty tripod, donned my waterproof jacket, and sallied forth into the garden. Within 5 minutes I discovered my jacket had the equivalent waterproof capabilities of a colander, but hey ho, sometimes you have to suffer for your art. 🙂
The rain doesn’t stop the visitors to the Happy Eater tree.
The weather forecast for the rest of the week is not much better, oh well, maybe the week after will be better!

Well done to you for braving the crap weather, and trying some photos. They worked pretty well, and should be inspiring, but my days of ‘wet photography’ are behind me, I’m afraid.
As for waterproof clothing, it should all be sued, under the Trades Description Act.
Best wishes, Pete.

Rain in summer is not something I am used to any more . . . here, it is up to 90 and bright and hot. My peppers are doing fab, as are the tomatoes, and the fig is beginning to turn color – maybe I’ll get a decent crop of them this year, like 18-20, since it is only 2 years in the ground. Sorry to hear about the wet photo shoot . . . thought of you today when I saw a shed with lots of windows . . .. what I could do with that! Meanwhile, I am trying to figure out what film cameras to take on our road trip in a few weeks . . . Cheers!

Ooh road trip sounds exciting, 90 is a bit too hot for me, but anything better than the interminable rain. Cheers Naomi.

Ahhhhh. Rain. As far as the heat, it is a dry heat, with low humidity, so it is actually quite do-able at 90F. Road trips are great – off to the southwest, wild west, northwest, and so on. Specifically, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah.
