With the autumn blues slowly creeping in, the wet weather rolls in yet again. It starts as a whispering in the air, hiding the bright sun behind a curtain of dark clouds looming in the sky. Sometimes it blows like a gentle shower, inspiring you to curl up in a cozy blanket with a hot beverage and a good book. Other times, it falls in big fat drops, leaving you spellbound as a thunderstorm pummels outside the window.
Everyone has a different outlook on a rainy day. But whether you love or hate it, it's hard to deny the therapeutic effect it has on you.

Very nice setting for a romantic comedy where they start running from the rain and takes shelter under an eave below the warm yellow light. Dripping wet and a little cold but the happiest they have ever been....you know...that kind of story. Lol

Saw You Guys Liked One Of My Rain Photos That Was Cross-Posted Here Yesterday. So Here's My Favorite Rainy Photo
Cara G 4 years ago
Guys, this is Times Square. We have a lot of conversations about it on BP and what the big deal is. This is big deal. This is how it looks lit up in the evening. Except on a much larger scale and obviously brighter IRL. You only need to see it once if interested, never if not, and you avoid it like the plague if you're in the city regularly.

I love thunderstorms, especially when lightnings run on the bottom of cloud, and make those nice, tree-like figures.

I would have loved these under any circumstances but living in an area with an ongoing drought and temperatures in the 100s all summer, including today, makes me even more appreciative. I've got fond memories of rain.
