School is out for the summer. Although rain has softly fallen for much of the day, it hasn’t dampened my excitement about having this school year behind me. It’s too bad that we’re sick — I would be up for some type of celebration. And how smart is this? I went outside in this rain to capture a photo (coughing like crazy!) just so I could include it here. (For those of you playing along at home …the whole rain on the flower thing is supposed to correlate with my feelings about the day — you know …rain can’t dampen my mood any more than it can make the flower less beautiful.)

Flower in the Rain

Do you ever go back and look at photos you taken? Not like years later, but days or weeks later. If you’re like me, when you pull all the photos from your camera to your computer, you automatically focus your attention on the ones that you immediately like best. Sometimes to the point of ignoring some shots that you will absolutely appreciate more when you take time to reflect on them again.

For example, the photo below got barely a glance when I first looked through all the shots taken at our dinner meeting with the fine folks from Old Mutual. Today, when I browsed through the images taken that evening, I stopped at this candid shot. I wonder what these two could’ve been thinking…

What are they thinking?
