There's currently too much blood in my caffeine system

Rain

It is raining today.

The sound of running water tickles my ears. The smell of wet soil caresses my nose. The ever so gentle colours, caused by the light having to penetrate so much water before it finds beautiful places to reflect from, kiss my eyes.

Now I put a lens between my eye and the rain to show you what I mean. Please imagine the sound and the smell.

Beautiful photo!

We need some rain here in Arizona. For the last two weeks, huge thunderheads loom up all around but break up and let no rain fall in the city where I live. It might rain a little in the outerlying areas but nothing at all in the city. One night, the wind was blowing hard and brought the smell of the rain.....but let not a drop fall.

I have looked at all your photos and they are all breathtaking.

Perfect drop :up: It´s amazing how much, even the short showers, contents of water. It´s like monsune. Very unlike Denmark :eyes:

Not that hard to imagine around here :D

But a rain shower can be such a relief after a spell of hot, dry weather. :smile:
