Singin' and Ridin' in the Rain
It's hard to choose, isn't it? Of the several I liked, this remains my favorite image as I recall chasing her down with my car and calling to her from the curb so that I could take her photo. Drenched by a summer rain, she momentarily stopped so I could snap her picture.
Today is the beginning of another year when we will share our city and our lives with our fellow photo bloggers. May we all stay healthy, enjoy life and one another and do very well in 2012!
