"Love sings when it transcends the bad things"

As the rain was pounding onto the pavement last saturday night, Jordan and I ran to his car, ready to go home after a night of drinks with friends and diner food. Early the next morning, the same rain was hitting my windows and I was having an intense, vivid dream. I guess you would call it a nightmare. I was in a city surrounded by masses of people and, for some reason not defined by my dream, we all knew it was over. The world was coming to an end. Everyone was running. At times I ran to be inside of a building and other times I ran to get out. Where do you go when there's nowhere to hide? Although the dream is blurry in memory, I do remember one thing vividly. The rain. Throughout the constant panic, the rain was coming down from the dark gray skies. I remembered hoping and praying the rain would stop, cause then it would be all over. We would have escaped our fate and continued on with our lives, with a dark memory of what could have been. Then Jordan crawled into bed with me and I woke up enough to know it was just a dream.

Later on that day, as the rain was slowly coming to a stop, Jordan and I were trying to come up with something to do.Looking outside at all the vivid colors that rain brings, I was inspired to photograph it. If you haven't noticed by now I am obsessed with vivid colors. Almost all my pictures are saturated to a point. So we ventured out into the same rain that inspired my nightmare the night before, but now actually created something beautiful enough to photograph.


This decorative candle holder sits in my front porch and I am in love with the texture and pattern.









I love this tree not only for its pink flowers but for its bright red leaves, left over from the fall, that are shaped like hearts.









I found this red flower and asked Jordan to hold it, so I can use it as a subject for some of my photographs.I tried to find gray backgrounds to have the red stand out.




It's Tuesday afternoon and there is still a leftover drizzle from the rain over the weekend. Although rain isn't ideal weather, Ive always enjoyed the peacefulness it bought with it.

I can't wait for it to be the sun hitting my skin and not rain drops :)
