I live in Surrey, UK. and my preference is for arty outdoor photography. I have three sons so life is hectic but feel a little disappointed when a day goes by during which I haven’t had a chance to take at least one nice photograph!

Great work Jen, love that “streaking” rain.
Thanks Geoff. Yes..I love the way the water bounces off the branches in different directions.

Lovely. Those chickens don’t mind the rain it seems.. Big fav !
Hi Woepi, funnily enough, some of them are rescue chickens and when they first saw rain they had no idea what to do about it. Now they know rain = worms!
Thanks for commenting…and faving.

This is beautiful, and an instant favourite (and yes, the chickens contribute :-) ) – I love this scene, it’s so …August in my mind! Aside from my feelings :-) the composition, colour and timing are superb, the streaky rain contributes to make this look like an Impressionist painting – great work!
Hi Themis.. Wow…great comments thanks. Took quite a while to get one with chickens in the right place and velocity of rain in the right combo!!!

I love this! Lovely vibe, are they your chickens?
Hi Rosie….thank you for your great comments. Yes, we’ve had chickens for several years now. They are hilarious and their eggs are guaranteed free range…as you can see!
