The rain still falls

Am iesit la o plimbare azi. Ma gandeam ca poate macar pentru o jumatate de ora nu va mai ploua deloc. Ca voi avea ocazia sa fac niste fotografii. Nu am avut norocul asta. Balansand cat am putut eu de gratios geanta, aparatul foto, umbrela si plasa cu cumparaturi am reusit sa fac cateva cadre. Acesta e unul dintre ele.

I went out for a walk today. I thought that maybe it will stop raining for at least a half an hour. That I might have the chance to take some photos. No such luck. Gracefully balancing my bag, the camera, the umbrella and the shopping bag I managed to take some shots. This is one of them.

It keeps on raining

 

Ploua. De miercuri nu am mai vazut soarele. Inchid ochii si imi imaginez o zi senina de vara. Sunt sub un copac, locul meu preferat, unde imi place sa stau sa citesc si sa ma gandesc pe unde sa ma plimb cu aparatul foto. Deschid ochii. Sunt in camera, dimineata. Si ploua…Ii inchid la loc. Simt o adiere de vant. Imi mangaie parul. Acelasi domn din fiecare zi, cu cainii sai chow chow si Saint Bernard intinsi la soare, doarme pe iarba. Aud o alarma. Ma ridic din pat. E timpul sa ma trezesc. Si ploua... 

P.S. Pentru 9 iunie.

It’s raining. I haven’t seen the sun since Wednesday. I close my eyes and imagine a clear summer day. I’m sitting under a tree, my favorite place, where I like to read and think about the places I could go and photograph. I open my eyes. I’m in my room, in the morning. And it’s raining…I close them once again. I feel the wind, caressing my hair. The same man I see every day, with his chow chow and Saint Bernard dogs lying in the sun, is sleeping on the grass. I hear an alarm. It’s time to wake up and get out of bed. And it’s raining…

P.S. This is for June 9th.
