Will This Rain Ever End?

I am beginning to wonder when this rain will ever end - it seems to have been constant for weeks now, for 40 days and 40 nights perhaps? Fortunately, where I live we have not been too badly affected by it unlike in other parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire and in the South of England. January can be depressing enough as it is without all this rain. I’ll have forgotten how to use my camera by the time I actually get out to take some pictures. You lose the motivation after a while, as every day seems to be the same, dreary, grey and constant rain, rain, rain.

I wouldn’t mind if it was cold - the colder the better then we might have some snow. I love photographing in the snow, as it is really invigorating and makes you appreciate Spring all the more when it finally arrives. There are some fascinating images to be seen when everywhere is frozen and covered in ice and snowflakes and it is always amusing watching the ducks on a frozen pond. There are opportunities to be quite creative.

But instead of nice, crisp, white snow and blue skies, we have miserable, constant drizzle, with bland and colourless skies, which seem to go on day after day after day after day…. now I understand why some animals hibernate and I am beginning to think that’s not a bad idea.

Wake me up when Spring arrives…
