When we look up at the clouds in the sky, we often see some of them becoming dark and gray. The first thing we say is that it is going to rain. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn’t. There are times when we can smell the salt in the air when it is cloudy and humid, so we know that the rain is on the way. When the rain starts to fall from the sky, it smells so good. It is so cool and refreshing. I can say that because I have been in the rain before just walking and enjoying it. I remember when I was a kid, we all would be outside playing in the yard, and it would start to rain, those were the best times. I never let the rain stop me from doing what I wanted to do, or going where I wanted to go. It is fun being out in the rain unless it is storming.

Looking at this picture gives me feelings of nostalgia; I don’t know why but it does. Looking at the lights glowing on the bridge, and seeing the lights in the background makes me wish I could really experience that moment in time. Just looking at the water on the ground makes me wonder what’s there. Looking at the sky, it looks as if it was a storm and not just a simple refreshing rainfall. I suppose the person in the picture is enjoying the moment as it has taken place. The feeling one gets when it rain is normally a good feeling. I say this because the ground needs watering, and the atmosphere is clean and fresh. Whether it is warm, or cool after it rains, it still feels good.

I enjoy reading a good book when it rains, and I enjoy just relaxing watching a good movie, or listening to my favorite music. Sometimes I just like taking a good nap. How do you feel when its rain? What do you do? Well, until next time, enjoy the rain when it comes. c.2022 L.A.
