They say if you don't like the Paris weather, wait five minutes. The changes are sudden, like bursts of energy. Showers, then clear bright sun, then both--when you take a sunny walk in the rain, looking over each shoulder for the inevitable rainbow.
It has rained a lot in Paris lately. But it seems to fit--poetic and romantic. And, as Longfellow said, "if it's raining, all you can do is let it rain."
As for me, I take a moment to seek out the beautiful light, the glistening reflections, and the fleeting figures dancing between the raindrops.

Amazing pictures, love the one with the guy walking with his Louis Vuitton umbrella. How romantic it all is.
