The tropical storm is brewing in the Gulf Coast of Mexico. It is already starting to affect our weather with thunderstorms. I do not mind the rain. We need the rain for the trees and the flowers. But I could do without the thunder and lightning. I will stay inside and watch and listen to the rain as it falls on the roof. Brings back good memories. The smell of the rain is great. Amazing how smells and sounds can evoke so many good memories we thought were forgotten.

I was watching that storm come in, a friend of mine lives in Pensacola. Great clouds, I miss storms.
Oh really? I used to go there a lot when I lived in AL.
I love it there, but the bugs are horrible. I got eaten up by gnats.
I do not miss that part. Gnats and mosquitoes.
We ended up in the rain all the way to the Lighthouse in the Bay yesterday. Not even the tropical storm yet, we get that Wednesday afternoon…
I am sure you did have rain, glad your trip was safe. We dodged most of the weather, but got a lot of needed rain, most went west.
Well, in this area we are really not as requiring of rain. Our ground is saturated!
Thank goodness there are no floods.
Beautifully written and brilliant photo. The other day with the rain I had a similar experience. Although I was a big sly, I did paint, but I’m not sure that rain drops are visible.
Thanks Robin, these are my bluebird of happiness. When there are five it is a full house.
Nice photograph Carol. Excellent shot.
Thanks Pam, I enjoy the birds as you know.
I like the rain but not days on end. In short doses rain is good. We need it. We don’t get forked lightning often in New Zealand. We do get sheet lightning.
Yes, too much of anything is not good. Many have been flooded.
I’m not a big fan of rain although, as you point out, it is necessary. I love a good thunderstorm, however, especially at night when I’m at not. Not so much when I’m waiting for a bus.
If I can stay inside to watch it and listen to it I am fine with it.
Whenever it rains, I feel like just staying on my bed all day and night long. c”,)
Yes it tends to have that effect on people!
Well Dark cloud has own kind of beauty and rain is my weakness.
I am with you, I love the dark clouds and rain.
Awesome Dark cloud! I love the rain, even still love to play under the rain like to clean and tidy the rocks in the garden
It was full of rain for sure! More to come. I agree with you and being in the garden.
I enjoy a little rain but no lightening especially. Nice photo!
Me too LaJenna, thanks! 🙂
beautiful picture, I like the calm rain
Thanks I do as well.
Very beautiful and dramatic capture! I love the smell of rain too!
Thanks Ellie, stormy days right now.
