I love rain. More than I love a sunny day. So when I heard the thunder off in the distance, I raced out onto the fire escape to take pictures. Unfortunately, we didn’t get much of a storm for photography, but I do like the dark cloud cover over downtown, heavy with moisture just before it started to rain.

(And truthfully, as much as I love when it rains, I don’t really like to be caught outside in it. So after the first heavy drops of rain fell, I darted back inside.)
