Some lovely rains here and I managed to get some lovely sights before the rain came down.
A bit tricky with the light, as a strong wind hurried the clouds along at a fair lick.
But yes, I was lucky to get some lovely shots this morning and we are very thankful for the rain. We are totally dependent on the rain in this country, as we are a water scarce country and lately, we have floods up north, where many people lost all that they possess and, in the south, we have a coastal city that is on its last legs due to a drought. They are soon to face what we call, day Zero, meaning that not a drop of water will be available for the residents. So now you can understand why we love the rain so much.
The clouds were boiling in the wind as we left our house this morning.
Not every day that I can stumble on a Citrus Swallowtail butterfly in a spot of sunlight.
A final scene as we left to return home. The power cut was finished and now I could show you this.
A great way to spend the power cut hours don't you think?
We have some electrical powerless hours every day and it leads us straight into the warm embrace of Mother nature. In between taking photos, I can sit with a mug of coffee and read the morning newspaper, or I can spend some time meditating. Total freedom in nature and it helps when one steps off the treadmill of what we call life. I am sure that we all have problems of one type or another, and I know in my case, that nature is a great help to figure things out.
My heart goes out to everyone that is struggling on this day and may it be that you will overcome whatever has you in its grip. Know that nothing lasts and that there is an end to everything. We also have to face many problems, not of our own, although we have a few of our own, but people are really suffering here and after Covid, the power cuts are not making anything better. People are facing bankruptcy, as they have invested all of their savings and their pensions into small businesses and now, they are forced to close down due to a lack of business. Yet others have lost everything in the floods.
All of these occasions make me think how negligible our own problems are.
But such is life.
I hope that you have enjoyed the pictures.
And That's All Friends.
