We have had so much rain the past few days, I am beginning to believe that ducks may float by my front door.
I thought I would try capturing a few of the drops, since opportunity presented itself. Have a wonderful weekend.
Posed shot a a bluegrass fiddler entertaining in the lobby of a hospital at Christmas in Lorain, Ohio.

At one of our favorite local flea markets these guys are regulars playing some authentic sounding Bluegrass country music which is far more pleasing than the commercialized crap that passes for modern country music these days.
The revelatory moment of sublime Bluegrass music is made manifest in a barn. I think it was the Orange Blossom Special song that did the job. Or was it Rocky Top?
Take me to church, man. Take me to church! ;-)
The dark strands of rain and light aren't straight down, perpendicular to the ground, but rather lean to the left. This photo is taken from where the last of the Appalachian mountains meets the rolling Bluegrass Country of Central Kentucky.
A portion of north-central Kentucky is known as the "bluegrass". It is the location of many picturesque horse farms, some of which have bred and raised famous racing champions.
In this area, which centers on Fayette County (Lexington), there are many rural roads that appear unchanged from how they must have looked 100 years ago; roads so narrow that center lines are not even painted, sunken rights-of-way that hint at ancient origins, old trees left standing right next to the pavement, and with old fences lining both sides. Some of those fences are so-called "Kentucky fences" like these. Others are of limestone, skillfully constructed long ago.
Wikipedia says that the Bluegrass makes up the northern part of the state of Kentucky, roughly bounded by the cities of Frankfort, Paris, Richmond and Stanford. The Bluegrass region is characterized by underlying fossiliferous limestone, dolomite, and shale of the Ordovician geological age. Hills are generally rolling, and the soil is highly fertile for growing pasture. Since the antebellum years, the region has been a center for breeding quality livestock, especially thoroughbred race horses.

Early morning storm passes through northern Vanderburgh Co. Was hoping for some cloud to ground but no luck.
Another one from the archives, this one from way back in 2006. Wasn't much to shout about then, but the wonders of Lightroom were able to polish it up a bunch. (Some banding in this one too though.) If recollection serves, it's a shot at sunrise of a horse farm somewhere near the Kentucky Horse Park.
As always, comments, suggestions, constructive criticisms, etc., are welcomed and greatly appreciated. Thanks!
