Wet Indeed


Like lots of other parts of the country


we have had a great deal of rain. So much rain that all the raincoats and jackets are soaked


and my welly boots have sprung a leak. These photos were taken from the M4 bus


going down 5th Avenue by Central Park on Wednesday afternoon. 
They were taken on my phone since I know from experience that
 getting a camera wet is not a terrifically good idea.


But you get the general idea


I think. More rain forecast today!

  3. Did you know Apple has a way of determining if your iPhone got wet? Ask me how I know.... :( Fortunately, dh was able to get me a replacement.

    My water bottle dripped condensation on the phone nestled in the cigarette lighter pocket in my car. Now I know better!

    MD has had rain rain rain, on and off all day and night this week too.

  4. UGH. Too much rain!

    I used to have to come home and wash my feet in the bathtub after walking in the summer rain in NYC. It stirs up the nastiest stuff in the world.

    Luckily, the beauty of the city and Central Park after the sun comes out makes it all worthwhile.

    New wellies...YAY!

  7. Your phone takes nice photos. Sorry about the abundance of wet weather. Too bad we can't send a little of it to places that are so parched.

  12. It's very strange - on your side of the Atlantic you seem to have got the rain for our side of the Atlantic. Could you send it our way please, we're all sick of having to water everything ALL the time!! Love your blog BTW!

  13. You certainly know how to get great pictures. Do wish we could have some substantial rain. Everything parched here in the south east.
