I wish you could come with me on this walk. We put on shoes slightly in hurry to catch last glimpses of daylight. It barely stopped raining. We can still hear raindrops falling from branches of trees. Everything is so peaceful and fresh. We walk silently. There is no need for words as we enjoy pureness and brightness of different tones of green all around, but the world is not exactly silent. You hear them too? Birds? It seems they too wanted to enjoy this brand new world before darkness arrives. As we pass through the garden you can also hear this silly, naive person stop sometimes and giggle at magical finds of nature perfection in form of baby leaves and flower buds of fruit trees. Through the driveway we are accompanied by the sound of our own footsteps and black and white cat that patiently waits for us to come back as we pass the gates, heading down the road to the lake. We sit down on wooden pier and listen to waves and fish jumping around while night falls slowly. Is it time to go back?
Song of the day: Soulful - L'indécis
definitely only bright souls can appreciate the wonderful natural world, the sounds in silence, the smell of rain, the atmosphere that surrounds you, in days of so much stress in the city, it is very good to enjoy nature in good company, is a way to find yourself

Thank you for stopping by @melvadg :)
I don't think people often realize how much stress in their life comes from their environment and it can easily get out of hand if not observed and mitigated in some way. For me being outside, in nature is ultimate stress relief.

I do, too...
The storms where I used to live in South Africa were gorgeous.
Before - the air suddenly changes, the sky darkens... All the birds quiet down and there's an intensity that you can feel ... Like Gaia is holding her breath. The smell is fresh and earthy... Everything waits... Thunder booms in the distance.
During - Suddenly it starts pouring. The lightning is on top of you, with deafening thunder only half a second or less delay. Feeling safe inside, the petrichor and coffee-chocolate smells are intoxicating (I always used to make mochaccinos during a storm). Sometimes red wine.
After - Aaah, the freshness! Lingering petrichor and then everything you described in this post... Nothing quite like it... <3
When the Song of the Day ended, this played next... "Are you ready for the thunder?" ... =) ..:

We already had our first thunderstorm this year and it was so strange, because it seemed like it was all around us and we in the center with no rain or too much wind. I was standing outside for a good while and just observed the nature spectacle.
We have old saying here that after first thunder it is ok to sit on the ground, because it should be warm enough or some similar meaning.
Thank you for sharing the song. Loved it :)

You were standing in the rain? =) ... Gods, I miss doing that. [Edit: Oh! You said "no rain" .. How did I miss that? ;P]
You know what would make an awesome post? Next time it's about to start raining, you should film it ^^ ... Maybe just a 30 second or 1 minute video, before it starts pouring down.

Thank you so much @naydenova :) I love storms too. Since childhood, I was glued to the window as well. Something really magical about them. Power of nature.
