Rainy Days

Days where it pours cats and dogs from the sky, and all the little kids with they were lemon drops and gum drops. To days where its like an oven, and kids on on the side walk selling lemonade, oh what a wonderful world.
     To me, all days are wonderful, weather they be sunny or rainy, its all good to me. I enjoy the soothing sound of the falling rain upon the roof, and also when I go out side, the feeling of the cold droplets on my face. Its all so relaxing. It makes me feel as though im in a cool dark cave just content on the simplicity of life, and I can enjoy my slumber.  Then there are those times where I get excited, when lighting and thunder roar across the valley where I live. The bright flashes grab my attention and then I listen intently as I wait to hear the roar of the booming thunder. As the rain pours harder, everything gets mixed up in the orchestra of lightning, thunder and rain. My parents use to say the angels are bolwing with god, and he just got a strike. But that was long ago when I was little and use to be afraid of the thunder. Now that I am older, I enjoy it all of it. Not only because of the cool darkness it provides but also the bleak grey scenery that comes with it. Its like a veil over the land scape, knowing its there but you cant see it.
     Then there are those days where its bright and sunny. Those days I love, besides the blistering heat, its almost magical. The great blue sky over head seems to spead endlessly over head. Although, does it span forever? nah I dont think so, because after all the earth is round right. But thats not all, the different shades of the blue sky are just amazing! When I was in the States, I could look up and see nothing but clear blue skies all around me. Since the state of Iowa is so flat, it is just in interupted sky all around, though there are not that many interesting portraits to take a picture of the sky with (mountain or some other kind of background). The best kind of clear sunny day is one with a nice cool breeze to keep everything bright and cool. There is nothing better than a walk on the beach with a cool cross breeze and the sun over head. Since it is a clear day, that means a clear sunset. The best time to try and see the rare Green Flash. But if I really had to choose the best kind of sunset would be when its a clear horizon and there are just a few clouds over head, that way you can see the different colours and shades the sun gives off as it reflects it self off the water up onto the coulds. From orange, to sometimes even a purple, its really great to be able to see one.
