Summer Rainstorms
Yesterday it rained. All day. I drove up to the Lows' house in the evening for a branch get together. I always get lost going there. Probably because I only go once every three months. I forget which road to turn on. The Lows live outside of town and up a hill. It feels a little like going into the canyon, but it's short-lived. Pretty soon you're back into a small housing development. But when I was lost, I was driving all sorts of different roads that curved and climbed and were surrounded by tall, leafy trees. The rain made everything beautiful. Sometimes you're just so happy to be lost. I stumbled across this golden field.
I wanted to get a picture of the trees on the side of the road, but sometimes it's hard to take a picture while you're driving.
I finally found my way to the Lows' house. When I left, I came out of the trees and down a hill and found a rainbow.
The great thing about this summer storm was that it was still warm and sunny out. The blue sky and clouds were reflected in the wet asphalt of the road. It was perfect.
When I got home, I decided to hang out on my front porch for a bit. The rain had forced a reprieve from the constant fireworks my neighbors have been lighting for the past week. I love the sky during a storm. I like to see the clouds move.
