The rain returned on Day 6 but only for a short bit.  I played around a bit with the manual focus when taking the first two shots.  I was in our dining room looking out the front window, watching the rain come down.  In the first shot, I manually focused on the tree in our front yard which resulted in the window screen 'magically' disappearing from view.  For the second shot, I focused on the window screen.  This resulted in the tree and surrounding landscaping looking blurry in the image.  You can certainly tell that both shots are from the same vantage point but the look and feel are completely different - all attributed to my chosen focal point when operating in manual focus.
