Suburban

When it rained, I used to sit around and wait until it passed. It was peaceful at times although it was never enough for me to sit still. Even though you can get drenched or catch a cold all while caught in a storm, the bottom line is you can still take much better pictures than from inside your bedroom window.

Since then I've made a rule for myself to go out in any condition, that way I'm never bored and I never miss anything. Now when I am busy I always feel like I'm wasting my chances. So which is better?
