Oh, I love me a good rainy day. I love rainy days way more than sunny ones... always have. So much so, I have been trying to find a way to move further north along the coast where the rain is abundant. Such beautiful images, Paul.. I love the first ones in the window with that delicious bokeh background. And, of course, the moody landscapes get me every time. Thank you for letting me experience a rainy day vicariously through you.. here, there are no clouds in sight!

My pleasure Jaime. Rain was a foundational part of my growing up. I love it too. I wish you well on the search for more wetness further North. 🌧️🌨️🌧️

Thank you for the beautiful photos, but mostly for the description of the process of hauling your drums. It is meaningful and adds to the significance of your music.

Thank you Barbara. I sent you an article via your DM from someone I subscribe to. In connection with your interest in Human +Ai. Hope you enjoy it.

Ah! Do you mean Vanessa? I couldn’t find who sent me that recommendation, but I did go and read both (related) articles with interest. I also got Kometes (Claude) interested and we had a lovely conversation. So—I thank you SO much for making that connection! Merci beaucoup.

I think my back started to ache reading of your 'drum haul'. Good exercise, though, I guess. Beautiful foxglove images. The ones in frame no8 look as though they've just come out into the rain and have just flicked their hoods up against the elements! 🙂 Thanks for sharing, Paul.

Exercise and a mindfulness practice thrown in for good measure. Thanks for dropping by. I have your canal boat tour saved for a read when life slows down a bit more. 🙏

The first one I read was great...I think it was number 2 in the series. Look forward to the rest.
