Wet Christmas [Watery/Outdoor Wednesday]

I am not wishing for more rain, certainly not on Christmas weekend! But we have been having cloudy skies and light rains so I am not discounting the possibility of a cold, wet Christmas. A real bummer especially when I will be driving out of town on Christmas eve.

"Northeast monsoon associated with moderate to strong northeasterly windflow affecting Luzon and Visayas. Diffused tail-end of a cold front affecting Mindanao," this is according to PAG-ASA. Thankfully, there is no tropical cyclone detected coming our way.

These watery photos were taken in early December at Bonifacio High Street while waiting for the rain to let up.

So sorry it's rainy there. It might be rainy here too, say the weather people.

It was snowing today in Illinois (U.S.A.) but overnight we are suppose to get rain and icy conditions. I am glad all our Christmas shopping is done. Tomorrow I hope to stay home and make homemade fudge and Mexican Wedding cakes.

Your images of rain at night are fantastic!

Don't worry about the rain! You live in a beautiful spot and the lights are gorgeous! The weather is supposed to bad here too! Freezing rain is forecast all day!

Hi Miranda!

Thanks so much for your visit to my blog. I liked the rainy reflections in your photos. We might be getting more snow on Christmas ...we had 15 inches last week!

Merry Christmas!

The moonsoon rain is a tricky business. I always expect that rain before the moon shines in full.

Miss that scenery ... I used to walk in that watery drench road years ago to go to work.
