Rain!
 

I like the rain too. The planets cleanser. Wonderful picture.

Hello

Same here. Great picture!

No rain – no rainforests – no rainforests – no “me” (the different species).

yeah i love the rain. it is raining now. yum.

Where I am we need it desperately.

You would enjoy a cloud forest environment. Almost always rainy, everything wet, and muddy. Misty and dark. Cooler and less humid than that of a tropical rainforest.

A few photos taken of a cloud forest a few years back.

Hello

Is there no forests like Costa Rica or United States near your location?

During the weekends I'd walk in the forest preserves usually where the trail leads deep into the woods near the lakes and rivers. However, I've never walked in the woods while raining. I've had my shoe stuck in mud before when the trail was still damp from the day after it rained. So I'd avoid walking in the parks when it does rain. When I do get the chance to go outdoors in the park I always enjoy escaping from society. It's a great feeling walking in nature. Very rejuvenating!

I hate rain hate it with a passion.i am not a rain person at all give me sunshine I like snow but detest rain


Namaste

No, I wished. Forests like that are rare on earth...
Consider yourself extremely lucky..

About 10 years ago me and a buddy spent about a month trekking through the Darien Gap.......and yes.....it rained a lot!

We been getting rain instead of snow finally. Just waiting on that GLORIOUS GGGRRRREEEENNNN!!

Hi

Thanks for sharing! It's perfect for meditating at midnight. Did you take that photo?

No rain but great video in the rain forest by the Hoh river.(2:26 mins.)

Aah.. forget the rain itself.. This is as much about the impact that rain has.. :biggrin:

Very nice video.. Just the lushness of it all..

Washington State enchanted me.
So I moved here.
The unfortunate thing is all the destruction of the natural places.
So it makes what remains all that more precious and sacred.

Oh! I saw the nicest rain yesterday (and I, like Native spirit, usually hate rain and like snow)
It absolutely chucked it down until the little lanes where I live were running like rivers. I went out with my massive brolly, and my wellies to walk in it.
Then the sun came out and it was like raindrops were rainbows and crystals. Then steam rose from the pavement, and the sun kept shining.
That sort of rain is really nice! (Wet though....haha)

I grew up in the Pacific Northewest United States where it rains 8-9 months out of the year. I now live in Colorado. Colorado is semi arid and we don't get lots of rain here. About 13-16 inches a year! I do miss the rain but not 35-40 inches a year's worth.

I love rain so much, I would probably be happy if it rained almost everyday. In CT where I reside at the moment, we've had a lot of rain this year. And with the rain come the complaints from my coworkers. While at the same time, I tell them how happy I am that it's raining. Now some of them accuse me of making it rain. Maybe they are right...Maybe.

Haha maybe you are a Rain Goddess! :biggrin:

You know what I would enjoy the most? Hours of both rain and sunshine every day, like during some periods in the tropics. It would lead to so much overgrowth! Let the plants rule the world!!

What does CT stand for..?

That sounds a lot like coastal California redwoods. Having lived there it rains almost every day but there is also lots of sunshine. The redwoods love it most of all. When the clouds part and sun shines through the canopy the rain drops sparkle like jewels. The effect is like a fairy wonderland.

Yay, Rain!

Ah, Linen53 the pacific NE forests are magical with the mist and freshness of the air!

When I was young I loved running in the rain.

When we lived in the desert it was such a blessing and brought such amazing surprises, like instant re-constituted frogs.

Now in semi-arid area, the rain brings the smell of soil and it is amazing!

The clouds in our big sky are amazing, giant white and billowy, grey and lacey, long and drippy.

Thank you for the wonderful thread Altair.

dontt mindd rain but 1 wev ha din in uk bean bit ot

This is me really... :hug3: I loved rain and greenery views there is really nothing charming, calm beautiful then this.

Yeah, too much can be depressing.

I'm more hot and sunny guy myself. :icon_sunny:

We've been getting loads of rain where I am this year, something like 200% of the annual average so far already apparently. Insane rain FTW.

Definitely compensates for the relative lack of it last year!

It rarely ever rains in California, our rain season is in winter and even than we barely get any.

What I do miss; rainy steamy weather while in coffee shops when I lived in the Mid West

There have been times I have left bags of concrete outside, unprotected and after several months, the concrete is still usable.

We have been giggling how much rain we have received this year, falling asleep to the sound of driving rain on the windows, waking to misty mornings, little diamond dew drops on the grass. We are almost positive my son brought home some of Wales’ weather. :D

Light rain today with no run off.

Every time this happens, reminds me of the area a major battle
in the American Revolution occurred.

It's rained hard and steadily for the past week here in the Pacific NW. Every now and again, there are blotches of blue breaking through. It's one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

I always fall to sleep better when there is raining outside...so calming.
