Blue Skies & All Things Nice

Nowadays I spend a lot of time looking at the sky, watching clouds float by. Most of the time, the sky is light blue. After a good dose of rain, it is brilliant blue with white clouds.

I love the different types of clouds - horse tail cirrus, mushroom cumulus and dark & stormy cumulonimbus. Clouds come in all shapes and sizes. At times they resemble animals. Sometimes when the sun is behind a cumulus, I can see a sliver lining - hence, every cloud has a silver lining.

Of course, clouds float around with the help of wind - even the lightest of breeze. It is so nice to feel a storm rising. The wind builds up, trees sway and rustle, the sky darkens ... and suddenly a calm before the storm. Then it pours. Watching the rain fall is so therapeutic. Many a time, I stand at my window and see the water running off the road like a stream, washing away all the dust that is accumulated on the road.

A nice shower and once again, blue skies and all things nice.
