📍 McKinney Downtown｜A Rainy Night Christmas Tree Memory

Raindrops cling to the wrought‑iron scrollwork of vintage street lamps—the whole street seems soaked in cool, honey‑like water. The Ferris wheel and carousel I had hoped for were hidden behind the curtain of rain, but unexpectedly, I found myself alone with the giant Christmas tree in the town square. 🎄 Rainy‑Night Photo Tips Exposure trick: Turn on the CCD flash +0.7 exposure compensation—raindrops will turn into golden threads Positioning tip: Stand at the southeast corner under the tree to capture starbursts where light pierces the rain curtain Pose idea: Pretend to adjust your camera lens and have a friend capture the moment you look up 🌧️ Rainy‑Night Stroll Surprises While sheltering from the rain under the old bank archway, I heard a music‑box version of Last Christmas drifting from the antique shop next door The candy‑shop owner gave out trial‑batch rosemary‑flavored candy canes: “No customers on a day like this anyway” The wet red‑brick pavement reflected the Christmas light strings like a flowing river of light ✨ A Late‑Night Realization “Turns out not every fairy tale needs a carousel—when rain washes a town into a snow globe, when a Christmas tree grows a soft glow in the CCD’s grain, this quiet moment feels closer to magic than any celebration.” #McKinneyRainyNight#McKinney#McKinneylife#McKinneydiary#McKinneyguide#McKinneySquareSquare
