2026

This time of year my mind is very keyed to thinking about (hoping for) rain. But sometimes in May, as was the case a week or so ago, the hoped for rain often comes in an albino white form.

Some folks might see a face in this as well, but I like it simply for the textures and the silvery black and white look.

I’ve been publishing POTDs since 2003, so it’s inevitable that I occasionally reuse a title without realizing it. That’s what happened here.
