A Breathless Backyard

One of the many things I love about our apartment is our balcony view, also known as our backyard. Though i have taken numerous of pictures they pretty much all start looking the same, so heres a couple that were taken more recently. The second one i took this evening while it was raining... I was trying to figure out how to set my shutter speed in order to be able to see the rain more clear but this was the best i could do! Hope you enjoy our "back yard' because we sure do!
