The weather forecast promised rain all day on Sunday. I was very excited because I’d spotted a thing I wanted to photograph in the rain, with reflections coming off the wet pavement. The rain’s arrival time got later and later every time I looked at the forecast, and by about 4:00, I decided to drive all the way across town in hopes that maybe the rain would have arrived by the time I got there. (I had something else to do later in the afternoon so my rain-window was pretty narrow.)

Anyway, it didn’t start raining while I was out, so I didn’t get the shot I wanted. But I did find this nicely colored scene.

(The rain eventually arrived about midnight but I did not go out and get the shot, as I was busy sleeping. It’ll rain again someday. I think.)
