But wait. You might be wondering, "What is POE?" Do allow me to explain.

In addition to offering a wide array of handmade goods such as jewelry, stationery, and clothing, Etsy is a wonderful place to buy top quality photographic prints!

The Photographers of Etsy (POE) Street Team is dedicated to getting the word out about the talented photographers selling their work on Etsy. Our aim is to inform the public about methods, styles and types of printing available, so that they will have tools to make educated buying decisions. We are a community of photographers who support one another by sharing experiences, techniques and helpful tips and tricks.

Rain

It's officially autumn in Portland, Oregon. Our weather report predicts rain for the next week.
Many folks that transplant their lives to Portland become disillusioned as fall slips into winter and our rainy season begins. As a native Oregonian, we're said to have webbed feet, don't use umbrellas and we love rain.

Personally, I do use my umbrellas but I also love the rain!

What's better than the sound of rain on a rooftop, the patter of rain on trees in the forest or a windy, crashing storm during the winter along the coast? Rain keeps our state fresh, clean and GREEN. Rain inhabits a variety of emotions...sometimes sadness but also solitude.

Reflection. Relaxation. Quiet.

My Etsy finds for today are inspired by the rain...
