around 7:15am, on my way to campus
Last night I heard from 4 or 5 different people that today it would snow at 6am. I didn’t believe it but I checked the forecast anyway and that’s exactly what it said: “６時：雪 ” Since everyone knows weather reports are never wrong I was pretty excited. I made sure to look outside often after waking up (at 5:30 – I catch a train at 7), but as I thought, there was no snow. Since I am from the Pacific Northwest I guess I should be predisposed to either hate rain or not even notice it, but today I decided that since I didn’t get snow I would at least try to find beauty in the rain – and I did! By the time I got home I barely had any feeling left in my hands, but I really enjoyed taking these pictures.

Oooh! I like these. I haven’t been in a nice drizzle for a long time. When I was in Washington it was snowing or downpouring (gross) and in Utah it’s either snowing or sunny. I just can’t get a good in between.

Wow…..
What amazing photos.
I’m taking Japanese currently and it is a fascinating language.
I’m really looking forward to getting to go to Japan some day.

Hey, wait a minute.. I read somewhere on here that you’re not a ‘pro’? You really do take some good pictures though!
