Rainstorm

I decided to give you all a break from my New York City photos. There was a pretty good rainstorm this morning when a cold front moved through. A neighbor's gutter and downspout were overflowing. I decided to take a photo to show them, and while looking through the viewfinder saw this really nice view, of my dogwood tree, and the rain and mist behind it. The branches of this tired old dogwood have a wonderful graphic quality about them - sort of like the Wizard of Oz, perhaps. I love the feeling of them, even though many of them are already dead.
