--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
It's a line from the Longfellow poem "The Rainy Day". I like a rainy day, it provides a nice atmosphere for photography. Things look different, people act different, the world is a different place all because of a little rain. These are some images I took on a recent rainy day in Yokohama.
Youth do not fear the rain, they embrace it.
I am not alone in my rainy day philosophy.
A walk in the park.
They bend but they do not break.
They're like upside-down umbrellas.
That's the spirit!
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
-- Longfellow
Daffodils
Pink
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
--Longfellow
Drink to me
Where else would one want to be on a cold rainy day?
No other place than here of course.
"Rain drops keep falling on my head"
--Hal David
They fall on her head too!
Walking in the rain with the one I love
Just walking in the rain
Kneel to the Rain God
A rainy day in Yokohama
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
--Longfellow
Nothing gets me down!
Lord of the Reds
Shelter me
I walk for the love of it. Others are just getting where they need to go. Thus we are made of different stuff.
Thanks for stopping by!
