rain
: its grey!
m (laughs): you will not survive in denmark
I am used to sweltering hot summer days, everyday. Its a beautiful day when you can feel tropical warmth without the overbearing humidity that is so typical of Singapore. Here in california, we get exactly that in summer. A few months of perfect weather. Then fall sets in, daylight hours gets shortened, the sun takes a break with the occasional special appearance and its awful weather to me almost everyday now. I stay indoors most of the time and wished that humans hibernate too. Today, for some unknown reason, i looked out into my backyard and lo and behold! A rainbow! Rainbows, as i have written before, are very special to me. And i believe many people share similar sentiments too. It struck me that its only on grey wet days like this that we get rainbows. So i suppose i should appreciate the rain as much as anything else, for without the rain, we don't get rainbows. I put on a rain jacket and walked out to snap a couple of pictures. It was a great time to be out, the sun was setting, casting its rosy hue across the horizon. The grass and leaves were wet with rain, and it was all so quiet. It felt like a new world.
If you will look closely at the picture, you may spot the rainbow.
