Have You Ever Seen Rain Coming Down On A Sunny Day

I couple of week ago, we had this quick storm pass through the neighborhood and I mean a quick storm. It was raining on one side of the house while sunny as could be on the other. There was just enough rain to get everything completely drenched, but it was hardly enough to measure in rain gage. However, I walked out to the back yard and the sun was shining through the rain drops that were still resting on all of the pine needles. The photo picked up the effect the rain droplets had pretty well, but I wish I would have gotten a closer shot looking back because it was just a tad more brighter than what the photos shows. The trees above were still dripping from their leaves so I was worried the camera would get wet. If you look closely, you can see some rain drops falling from the pine needles.

Enlarging the photo brings out the details. Nice!

Oh that must have been beautiful slinger! I remember when I was younger I had a similar experience...it was raining a few yards away from our house but right at our house it was not! Very strange but amazing!

Oh yes we get rain like that all the time -- it's called an English summer!

When I lived in the Mid-West I would see this happen more often. I guess those small isolated storms do the job. The funny thing is when you just can't see the clouds but your feel rain from somewhere.
