There is just something about the rain that relaxes me. Even when I have to deal with it in the car and in traffic. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's terrifying; but I still find peace in it. Maybe it's the smell, maybe it's the color that is makes the sky, or maybe it's some unrealized attractive memory I have of it. I love it.

It's this weather that has actually inspired two mixed CD's that have played in my car for years. {Mixed CD's - remember those? iPod's did a pretty good job at making them obsolete, nonetheless, they will always be one of my favorite things}

I'm not the only one who is in love with the rain. In fact, sooo many others have captured it in so many other ways, so I will share with you those that come to mind:



Shimmering Streets, Canal and St. Charles by R.C. Davis




Misty Morn on St. Charles by R.C Davis

 Really, absolutely anything by RC Davis is beautiful. But, these who paintings he's really captured two of my favorite things - New Orleans in the rain. It feels magical, doesn't it?!
