The theme this week is April Showers!
So it is April; time for rain showers to bring May flowers (no people taking a shower, please! ;)). I want to see some wet stuff from you guys & if there are May flowers already blooming, they can be part of the photo too. Have FUN!

Okay, judgment time :)
teekay: Nice catch of the rain clouds swirling to the ground. I can feel it coming :)
Carolyn: Beautiful Daffodils & yes, I saw a water droplet on one. Our Daffys are long gone but then again, they never last long enough.
northants: That dark sky tells a story and I like how the foreground is a sunny contrast.
3leggeddog:The floating leaf really helps keep this from being just a puddle & I like the bit of foam in it.
Paul: I sure have been enjoying your artistic flare on your entries. I am glad you included the overhead tarp in the photo which leads me believe it was wet out.
ontonagondave: Brrrr. That is one cold shower & I really do feel sorry for you. I don't like snow but it does make for a pretty picture.
Raven: Pretty flowers and yes, Seattle is wet all year round. Rain I love; snow not so much. I would like to have seen a little more of the wet road behind the tree.
Marie: And yes, I know about Ireland rain as well. The gal on the far side tells the true story with her head down, trying to avoid the flying drops. Nice!
James: I will give you this week's Most Odd Photo award. I couldn't decide if it was upside down or right side up :)
Linda: Nothing says showers like raindrops running down a window pane. I love the almost monochromatic look of this as well as the few folks with their hoods pulled up.

So Winners Are:
3rd Place: teekay
2nd Place: ontonagondave
1st Place: Linda
