Walking along muddy trails, listening to the beat of raindrops, nostrils filled with freshened air, catching drops on my tongue – beats a moment of sitting indoors, clean and dry.
So…
Looking upwards, greying clouds
The rain comes down
Refreshing and clean
Clear plump dollops hitting my face
They splash upon smiling teeth
Revitalising my skin and all within.
The rain still comes down.
Squishing sounds moving forward
Nearly home, the rain follows.
Life at No. 22 
This is so beautiful ❤️

Thanks very much, Janis. I enjoy the rhythmic sound of rain drops to put me to sleep. Though don’t hear them as much now as we don’t technically have a roof. So, out walking in the rain is such a pleasure as it is warm and wet.

Rain isn’t too bad, but combined with the wind it causes havoc to my house.

Wind and rain means that some trees don’t stand a chance. I have my fingers crossed that some of the more elderly trees around our neighbourhood are not affected. Oh yes, still raining on and off.

I too love the sound of the rain, a great way to destress. Just arrived home and we managed to get wet while out walking though it was still fun.

Thanks, Neil. Seeing rainbows are always cheerful and a positive effect of rain. This was taken a while ago.

Spectacular skies, Suzanne. We’ve had our fill of rain for the time being, I think, although no doubt there’s more on the way!

Thanks, Cathy. I can not remember a previous summer where it has ever been this bad with so much rain and even more to come. Luckily, most days we are still able to get and about.

I like the “clear plump dollops”. Two excellent atmospheric photographs – I like the way the rainbow speaks to the coastline

Not sure where it’s coming from if it is heaven then I may rethink where I want to reside in the next life 😉 Walk after basketball today was challenging with mud and rain, walking with a friend made it much more fun.
