hello rain

It has been very hot, humid, and dry here in NY; so a little rain over the past 2 days has been welcomed by most.  The students in class today took advantage of the rain for a new and different shooting opportunity.  They inspired me to get out my new digital camera when I got home and take some shots in the rain as well.

Tom planted this bamboo 2 years ago...it has taken over & in another year I will be able to cut stalks for bamboo brush painting lessons!
