Weather antidote !

Blowing a gale and pouring down all day.
Work was good, and at the risk of repeating myself, the shorter shifts are wonderful !

Tried to photograph rain on the leaves of our Japanese maple tree but it was SO WINDY and wet that I abandoned the idea. The tomatoes are a cheery substitute !
Pete made a tasty chicken concoction for tea so he gets major pixie points for that.

I must get some black velvet for indoor shots (Thanks Leonine)next week. It might save a half hours getting rid of white fluff on this material !
