We needed the rain. I get that. But somehow the scattered showers today managed to scatter themselves right over me at the exact moment I stepped outside. I felt like one of those cartoon characters walking around with a big dripping rain cloud over my head. I wouldn't mind so much, I would even ignore the water smudged fresh nail polish AND the wet dog smell, but today of all days I wanted nice, dry driving conditions. Today was the day my sweet little baby had his first driving lesson. The mere thought turned me into a big drip. We all know that wet roads are slippery dangerous roads and that wasn't the plan. But I trusted driving instructor Alan and his dual control car. That is, I trust Alan a whole lot more than I trust myself as a driving instructor. The fact is that while I don't have dual controls on my car I do have an imaginary break pedal and if I am a passenger - no matter who is driving - I am pumping it for all it is worth. I am the world's worst back seat driver, even when I'm in the front seat. There is no way in the living world I could instruct a learner driver especially one I gave birth to. So I have to trust Alan and pray for safe roads and safe drivers and try to not be a big drip.
What beautiful captures of the raindrops on the flowers!
ReplyDeletelove the drops, the light on them is just amazing. Love the analogy as well, though I think worse is when they get their license and go it with their pals is more scary
ReplyDeleteWow those waterdrops are incredible. I've tried to get this shot but have never managed it

ReplyDeleteHope his driving lesson went well? There can't be anything more terrifying that your children learning to drive, I don't think I could do it either! Wonderful photo as always, the detail is glorious.
