A Rain Shower In The Park
The park wasn’t crowded, maybe because the clouds came rolling in with a fierce demeanor. The once vivid reflections of trees on the water became blurred.

The dock is more crowded than I thought it would be. But this was the best place for a sunset picture. The calm flat water offered a reflective surface like a giant mirror. And the sunset will be gorgeous once the colors of the setting sun hugs the clouds and gets sandwiched between the water and sky.
