Hello everyone - hope everyone had a lovely Memorial Day weekend spent with family and friends. I know that I did despite the constant rain. We had friends over and had a wonderful “gourmet” BBQ mostly prepared by my husband.

I also made my way out to Hermann Park Saturday afternoon to try to take pictures for a Flickr group I participate in called Assignment Houston. It is a group of local photographers and each month we are given a very specific assignment. Photographs submitted must be taken during that month so it forces you get out there and shoot. I know it has sparked a lot of my creativity in me over the last year and this month was not a disappointment.

Since the deadline is this week I drove out in the rain hoping it wouldn’t be too bad at the park. It was still sprinkling lightly but I decided to use my umbrella to protect myself and the camera from the rain. My perseverance was rewarded though when soon after arriving the rain let off and an umbrella was no longer needed. By the time I was returning to my car there was even some blue sky peeking through the clouds. Below are a couple of favorites from this rainy outing… I hope you enjoy!
