Here comes the sun & Rain clouds Photo Op - The Lion Sleeps Tonight

Last Tuesday morning, I woke to heavy rain fall. It so happened it was also trash pickup on our street. This job had to be done due to the fact I missed the previous week and our bins were in need of being emptied. I resolved to take it down rain or not. Luckily, I caught a break as the rain dissipated. The clouds were giving way to blue skies as I began my haul to the curb, but without first seizing the above photo op.

Same as above, used Picmonkey's Winterland theme "Chill"  effect

Same as above, but used Picmonkey's "Holga" effect


By Friday, March swept in like a lion with winter's nip biting and snow showers. No accumulation, but my mind was ever so on spring's arrival. Let's hope that lion goes to sleep soon in our own backyard!

I like seeing the different effects from one image, and they are stunning. There's just something so magical about nature images done in black and white.

Stunning sky captures! How lucky that the rain paused for you to take those photos - it doesn't sound like it'll ever stop outside here.
