This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Rainy Day.’ See more responses here.
I had just finished my walk around Upolu Airport when the weather closed in. Usually, clouds and rain are blown in by the northeast trade winds, but on this day a system was moving in from the west. I’d been watching its progress as I walked, but still got caught out as it moved faster than I expected. Still, I did make it back to the car, waiting for me in the wet parking lot, before the next deluge arrived (top photo).
The crab spiders didn’t seem to mind the weather, and the raindrops made a picture of their webs (middle photo). It also made them easier to see so that I could avoid my usual trick of blundering into them and having webs wrapped around my head.
On the drive home, after my walk, I carved an avenue of spray as I motored along the puddled road (bottom photo).

Graham, you really know how to take rainy pictures. The spider web is fabulous. Don’t you love driving in the rain when you can’t see out of the windshield?

Thanks, Marsha. There have been times when I’ve had to pull over because it was raining so hard I couldn’t see anything.

I’ve had times like that too, but it only happens when we travel. Thanks for sharing your lovely pictures. 🙂

It’s a big web and only a very pretty little spider so I thought it wouldn’t be too scary!

I do too, though not so much if I’m out in it.

I love the gloomy gray of the first image, Graham, but the spider web is always a favorite close-up! And always better to capture the web without being immersed in a sticky web with a spider glaring at you!

Luckily, the spiders are quite small, but I always wonder where the heck they are.
