After days of watching news coverage of Hurricane Harvey & being inundated by rain at home, I feel the need to remind myself that I DO actually love rain. I love how it makes colors brighter, how it muffles sound & makes you feel like no one else is around…like you’ve got this natural wonder all to yourself for a finite amount of time. I love that time seems to slow down when it rains, and that when the sun eventually peeks out, you’re more appreciative of its glaring glory. So in an attempt to balance the negative images of catastrophic rain, here are some of my favorite photos taken during our past travels on rainy days. Hope you enjoy & rekindle your own appreciation for this life-sustaining weather.
