Brooding Spring
Nature: "This is the only kind of spring you're getting, lady!" 😜☔️
Rain Nostalgia
Current nostalgic mood somewhere between dreamland and being awake—and current weather thousands of miles away—like Nikko in the rain. ☔️
Rainy Days, Rainy (Path)ways ☔️
Living in the north, I get quite affected by the lack of sunlight in autumn and winter, as my face is just bound to hit the keyboard from the seemingly sudden onset of fatigue. But today, especially, for some reason—four (five?) coffees and two teas later—I've realized that rainy summer days have the same effect. Come back, sun, I won't complain about the heat again! 🌞
Rain on White
Freshly fallen rain drops on delicate flowers. It's simple moments like this that make me enjoy macro photography. ☔️
Secret Pathways
Showers
If April showers bring May flowers, then I hope that all these cold late-March rainy days at least bring a few green leaves along!
After the Rain
Veins
Endless November Rain
If this month were to be described musically, it would be a mashup between Guns'n'Roses and X-Japan: Endless November Rain.
It is about relearning, once again, to discern the subtleties of the grayscale, where most of the time the world around fluctuates between 40% and 60% black.
It is also about appreciating the remaining—and rapidly vanishing—bits and pieces of color that won't reappear until Nature wakes up again in the spring.
It is the time when reflections are everywhere.
In the puddles, extending the world into a hall of mirrors.
And in your mind, grasping the meaning of the year gone by.
By now, some of that year is a fleeting memory, like those drying puddles beneath your feet covered with shed leaves.
