Day 170: ...and the rain returns
The morning after the second of three football matches in the series that is known as the State of Origin. Last night's win by NSW (state of my birth) brought to an end eight consecutive years of rule by Queensland (state of my residence and, mostly, allegiance...yes, even in this series). As always, controversy was the dance partner of victory and with a tight 6-4 score line...well, it could have gone either way.
One reign ended, but another came today. And the rain was much needed. All around the backyard as it came down, life went on as normal, albeit a little wet.
I enjoy working with the rain, photographically speaking, it puts a different light on things; it gives us raindrops; it gives us abstraction. Most of all, it gives me wet loris...it didn't stay wet long enough to get a series of these two but a little lunchtime distraction nonetheless.

| Wet, wet, wet |

| We're late, we're late... |

| Rain, in abstract |
It would have been nice to see Queensland go on to get nine series but they didn't. And today, really, was just another, like any other. There's always next year, to start over.
