Photographer's Note
Waiting for my wife in the car
I was trying to take some pictures of the raindrops
on the windscreen when I saw the orange umbrella.
Back home I couldn't help remembering
the song that follows. One of my favourite.
It's also a tribute to all those American songs
that will never die.
Here's the picture and the song :
Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head,
by B.J. Thomas
Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he' got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my, head they keep falling
But there's one thing I know
The blues he sends to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Crying's not for me
Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me.
-------------------------------------------------------
Have a good week.

Hi Henry!
I like this picture very much. The raindrops creates a very interesting natural effect.
Nice composition as well!

This photo is fun. THe color of the umbrella and the two humans are great... The red bag in the man's hand is a perfect compliment to the umbrella. THe repetition of the umbrella in the little drops is also great. The three vertical lines on the left side of the photo also complioment the overall color of the umbrella.

Bonjour henri,
J'aime bien cette photo avec ces gouttes de pluie. C'est une tres bonne idιe et tres bien realisι. Simplement pour le plaisir, j'ai fais un petit WS en conservant uniquement cette personne au parapluie orange, j'espere que cela ira.
Tres bon Week-end,
Thierry

Hello Henry,
From conception to implimentation, this is a superb package for Trekearth. The clean windshield does not reveal any dust and debris, and the water droplets are clear and simply refract the light. The splash of colors resembles a fine artist's palette, as the paints are first blended together. The lyrics of the song, "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head..." also reminds me of those happy caefree days of relative youth and innocence. (The song of Burt Bacharach and Hal David for 'Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid.')
Warm regards, and enjoy what is left of Sunday. Here in the US East Coast, it is only 9:00 am, but it must by 3:00 pm in Belgium.

Bonjour Henri,
Woaw !Je vous imagine bien chanter ainsi sous la pluie. Cela me rappelle un peu une photo de Christophe (rhizomes) mais faudrait que je la retrouve !
Comme quoi la pluie donne parfois de petits bonheurs tout simples.
Belle rιalisation.
