~ Smells Like Rain ~

Ever since I was young, I remember falling in love with the sound of Rain. It is so calming and soothing, can make you relax in minutes of time. Something about the sound of where those drops are really hitting on, whether it be on the windows of the car your driving, the house you are in, building you are working in; or the leaves you are listening to them gently make music on... This is how I remember when I was younger... The first time I truly remember knowing I loved the smell, sound and feeling of rain was the first time I spent a night in my Grandma and Grandpa's trailer at the campsite! I remember waking up and listening. Getting out and smelling ..inhaling so deep..just like the first time I stepped off of the Steamship the first day I landed on Nantucket to smell the Freshest Ocean Air ever.  (May I add that I have never smelled the ocean air before that day in my lifetime) I remember getting out of the trailer and just getting poured on! And I loved it..The smell, the taste, the sound, the calmness it gave me.  This, I have to add, is one of the only things that calms me down and relaxes me.  Rain...

I have captured the Rain in this photo of sunflowers my Mother had planted over on Topaz, where we all used to live... It is one of my favorites... another obsessive to photograph.. Anything with water.....Rain.  Have not mastered it yet though. Practice...

For now, I called it a day! Due to the Rain, I was able to explain how much admiration I have for it... which is something I can never do...express myself in writing..maybe now is the time when I can finally......

This could get very interesting.. my blog
