Rain, Rain, Go Away....

I am resisting buying a rain protector for my camera but the rain has been so persistent these days it is difficult to take photos for fear of drowning the equipment. Oh well, we're only a few days away from the winter solstice on the 21st, an important milestone for me. I always feel a sense of relief when we are heading back to warmer weather, moving closer to the sun every day. Although the weather won't likely improve appreciably until March, after the solstice it seems like we are on the downhill run to spring.
