It’s raining, it’s pouring around these parts and I love it. I know a lot of people hate the rain but I dig it. Obviously it’s way better when I get to enjoy it from my couch, where I’m enjoying an afternoon being lazy but even from my desk, I can’t help but find the silver lining in a big ole rain cloud.

Unfortunately for me, the view from my office park window doesn’t come close to resembling any of the far more romantic rainy day scenes below. If your view is similarly bleak, one look at the pics below and you’ll want to imagine yourself looking chic in a trench coat with a bright red umbrella (or is that just me? okay that’s cool too).
