Carver's Photographic Journey

Drip drop falls the rain but the berry holds onto a few drips that can't make it down.

A drab and dreary day at Duke University in Durham, NC.

The shots in this drip drop post are from different seasons.

Sometimes dreary days create an atmosphere I like.

Part of Duke University has the Gothic style architecture which lends itself to dreary days.

The rain drops still linger on my storm door but the rainbow shows up beyond it.

Watching the rain drop down from a Durham, NC office looking out on the site of the old Durham bulls ballpark.

Last, a deluge of a downpour of rain dropping on my deck.

We went on a walk Sunday morning which is something I haven't done much of this summer.

Although it's still miserably hot and humid, there is a window in the morning where it's not too hot to walk.

If Bill hadn't suggested that we try to get out early enough for a walk I'm sure I wouldn't have done it but I'm glad we did.

We lucked out because it started raining about 5 minutes after we finished walking.

It's supposed to be slightly cooler this week. Still hot but not as extreme as it has been.

Back home the male towhee was singing in the bath.

Click for the home of Our World Tuesday. I'm posting early as I frequently do.

I, of course, realize that the sun spots and flares aren't UFOs but it looks like the pelicans are flying through an obstacle course to me.

Sometimes it seems like all our skies are gray and stormy lately.

Looking through my shots I realize there has been a bit of blue making an appearance with the clouds.

I'm glad we've had a lot of rain this summer because as hot as its been the plants would have all died of thirst without it.

Even when its not raining it has been so humid it has felt like rain.

My crepe myrtle trees add some color to the sky with their reddish pink blooms.

Even with a lot of rain my flowers (other than tree blossoms) haven't done well with the extreme heat.

I like the bands of blue and white in the sky.

Makes me think of stripped blankets.

I am glad to see an end to July. Hopefully it will start to get cooler in August.
