Drip, drip, drip...

There's a tropical storm/hurricane coming up the coast. Today at about 2 pm the first light showers began. This afternoon I decided to take some pictures just for fun and while I was out on the front porch a fairly steady rain began to fall.
I thought I'd try to capture some pictures of drops falling from the front crepe myrtle.

This wasn't the clearest shot of this drop but it was fun because there a rain drop that hit something and dispersed in the background.

After a while my trusty pal showed up on the porch and pretty much did the same as me and just hung out watching the rain...
drip, drip, drip.

Tattoine???

One evening last weekend I looked at the sunset to see what reminded me of a scene from Star Wars. It looked like there were two suns setting! I ran inside and grabbed the camera to snap a couple of photos of what I guess was an ice cloud or the like reflecting/refracting sunlight.
