A Break from the Stormy Weather

For awhile on Sunday afternoon, the sun came out and I took some rain-drenched photographs. 

Wet squirrel on the rain-slicked deck.

The sky to the northeast was still quite dark but the sun was bright elsewhere.

This is the view I see from my front window as I work at my desk in the living room.

A few toward the southwest and the backyard.  It was sprinkling out when I caught this
shot but the sun was still shining, thus the haze and you can see blurred rain on the lens!

Another wet squirrel on the other corner of the messy deck (haven't been able to clean it
on the last 2 weekends because of bad weather) and the yard is dappled with watery sunlight.
