My contribution to Monochromia this week.
The Roanoke Sound
This was the sky that met me as I left the beach on the bike a couple weeks ago. Even though the rain threatened (and eventually soaked me), I could not resist stopping to take the shot.

Whether it's one simple yet somehow perfect day or a dreamed about journey finally realized, I never want to forget the joy of the moment or how fortunate I am!

And that is part of what makes you such an amazing photographer: risking a good soaking (sigh) for your art…and your admiring fans.
As always, Alys, I wish I could send you buckets and buckets and buckets of water!!!!
🙂
I think ‘Huh?’ about risking – and getting – the good soaking for the sake of a photo or two – and then I see Alys’ comment and remember there are so many like her who would do a Happy Dance at the thought of even a light drizzle …………….. I must go out into the rain with a happier frame of mind 🙂 Thank you my friends for giving me perspective xoxo
Alys surely has brought a personal perspective to a drought that we’ve been aware of. I’ve tried to embrace the rain ever since.
Nice moody looking clouds 🙂
They almost look painted, don’t they?
Yep, you can see the brush strokes..
All kinds of texture here. I like the sense of being able to walk into it (though eventually, I suppose I’d be swimming).
I love that comment, Lisa. Thank you!
ooh, the light on the dock is so great. Neat shot, Laurie – I can sense the storm all around. Look at those little wavelets in the wind.
Crystal, I’m so glad you noticed the little waves. They were part of the draw for me, and I struggled to capture them.
