Looking out my window this morning I see the rain continuing to fall and that is not conducive to making outdoor images.  So it affords me time to review images I have taken in the last couple of weeks.

I actually found a couple that should have made the first cut in my humble opinion.  So I’m happy to be able to show them to you today.  We were going to try for the pumpkin patch today but the forecast and radar predict a rainy period for most of the day.

Yesterday a dear friend’s daughter was married and we were invited to attend the wedding / reception.  We opted to go to the reception, which was held in Davenport, Iowa.  We left home around 3:00 pm and drove through fog and light rain to Davenport.

Counting the tables and chairs we estimated there would be around 300 people attending.  The room was half full when we arrived and one of the first people we saw was my friend.  She looked wonderful and radiantly happy.  This was a very special day for her and her husband.

The room continued to fill with people and of course the temperature in the room continued to rise.  Finally two friends from work showed up and asked to join us.   It was a good meal and we enjoyed our company but then we all decided it was okay to leave and so all three couples left at the same time.  🙂

The drive home was worse as it was a steady misty type rain mixed with fog.  I apparently need to replace my wiper blades because I had trouble seeing the road, which reduced our speed and lengthened our trip home.

But it was all good.  We got to share a little bit of my friend’s happiness and reconnect with a couple of friends I haven’t spent much time with lately, so it was a good evening.

Hope you enjoy your Sunday.  Thanks for checking out the blog and be careful.
