Bus stop from the rain

I walked this morning, as it was a pleasant and sunny day with moderate cloud cover. I had been walking four about half an hour when I suddenly began to feel minute drops of water on my face. I thought little of them at first but the tiny droplets turned into a full-fledged shower, which forced me to turn around and bolt back home.

Fortunately, there was a sheltered bus stop on my route, so I hid in there. A lady was waiting in the stop and said that she had been caught by the rain, too, but unlike me, she was catching a bus, which arrived a couple of minutes after we'd started talking. After we'd said our goodbyes, I waited in the stop for between 15 - 20 minutes before the weather cleared and I resumed my original walk.

No buses came down the street while I waited but if they had, they would not have stopped for me because I deliberately kept out of their line of sight so that they wouldn't waste time picking up somebody who wasn't going to board.

Orange orb and droplets

This is a surprisingly well-shot picture of mine; at least in my opinion it is, anyway:

It's a zoomed view of one of my house's front windows, taken at night from the inside looking out. I took this image sometime during the past few weeks and forgot about it; I found it tonight and thought it would be worth posting. The raindrops on the window are quite clear, as is the outside trellis, but what I really like is the streetlamp off to the left. It almost looks like the sun!

What do you think? Opinions are welcome, as always!
