It’s been raining on and off all day so we’ve been cooped up inside the whole day. Before we went to dinner, I asked if he wanted to walk around afterward, maybe to catch people walking around with their umbrellas in the rain.
Not surprisingly, he said yes!
It was sprinkling gently when we started at the corner of 12th and J in Downtown Sacramento, right across the street from the Citizen Hotel.
Right when we turned onto K street, it started to pour harder. Surprisingly, Jeanelle (my August Bride) was still working at Sharif Jeweler when I walked by so there I was, bundled up to my head in a red puffy jacket, right outside the clear window, both hands in the air and waving frantically at her. I thought the glass wasn’t see through so I was being extra dramatic. But now that I think about it, it was clear glass so I’m sure she saw crazy ol’ me right away. (hahahaha)
This poor lady. She stood at the crosswalk for a while, waiting to go. Finally when she decided to go, the cars started to move. She missed the walk signal, apparently. Good thing she had an umbrella to keep her dry.We went back to J Street because it has way more interesting colors here.He was the most interesting person I saw tonight. It’s dead winter here: cold, rainy and windy and he’s wearing shorts, an “I love NY” t-shirt and a puffy jacket, prepared with an umbrella. I felt like a creeper for stooping down really low just so I can see his nose. Henry kept looking back and calling out to me to walk faster. I was making it too obvious that I was taking pictures of people as they walked by.
Saving the best for last. This was probably my favorite capture of the night. Good night, Sacramento!
