Reason to love rain (#7)

 

via Random tea house

North Carolina needs a serious downpour right now - it is so darn hot. We get the occasional and brief rainstorm, but it only contributes to the humidity. At least for that second it rains - it looks pretty from the inside of my window (though I really need it to start feeling cool on the outside of the window too...)

"Raindrops on the window" by Shooz

the gifts of GIFs

Another neat discovery via my husband. Watch these photos carefully and you'll see just the slightest thing happen: a man turning the pages of his newspaper, a taxi driving by as reflected in a cafe window (click on the images if they aren't "moving" for you). This is what it looks like when animated GIFs are done by artists. To see more work by Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg, check out their Tumblr: From Me to You.

Moving Pictures

My man has done it again! He's impressed me enough with a find to get himself on the very exclusive "Hiving Out." Seriously - aren't these "Moving Pictures" just captivating?!? Love this one and this one too, but lots more found on Square America.
