Stopping to Smell the Roses — No Comments

  1. It's not something I saw lately, but your words "nature's raw beauty" reminded me of a favorite memory.

    When I was in elementary school, we lived in a house with a huge window (it was as long as our couch) in the living room. One day while waiting for the bus, I sat backward on the couch gazing out the window as the most beautiful lightning display I had ever seen (or have seen since). The mass of storm clouds were a backdrop of mixed grays and blues as bolt after bolt of white multi-pronged lightning lit up the sky. It was breathtaking even then.

    To this day, I love to sit on the porch or perched at a window and watch storms roll through the world outside and listen to the thunder and the rain.
