Swede’s Photographs

Good morning. 🌻💮🌼

9 May 2025

It’s raining today. I had planned to spend the whole day working in the yard, but the weather had other ideas.

The rain brings back memories of walking to school in the late ’50s or early ’60s, bundled up in a yellow raincoat and rainboots. It always felt like an adventure—rain pounding down on the hood, puddles waiting to be waded through, and a world made fresh by the storm. Back then, kids could walk to school alone or, at the very least, make their way to the school bus without much fuss. I suppose that still happens in some places. What once seemed like a long trek was probably just a couple of blocks, though it felt much farther through the eyes of a child.

And then there was the candy store along the way—but that’s a story for another time.

Rain, rain, go away, come again another day.

"The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain." – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"This image beautifully captures a natural scene featuring wildflowers and grasses. The foreground is filled with delicate white, pink, and yellow blossoms, while the blurred background adds depth and highlights the intricate details of the plants. The image is signed "© Swede's Photographs" in the bottom right corner, marking it as part of a photography collection. The overall composition brings out the simple yet stunning beauty of nature." - Copilot
