There’s a beautiful rainbow in my garden, and I hadn’t noticed it until this week’s photo challenge! Introducing Mr. Roy G. Biv, back yard edition.
I had fun with the challenge…mostly because I love rainbows. I always drew them as a kid, and even now, if I see a real one in the sky, I stop what I’m doing and enjoy it.
It’s so full of promise. (GN 9: 8-15)
I spent the afternoon watching a storm move across the horizon. I’m drawn to storms, especially when they are over the water. The churning sea and the swirling clouds are beautiful, even though they pose danger. I don’t think it’s depressing or sad. On the contrary, it’s very much alive!
It makes me pensive to watch a storm, but it doesn’t necessarily mean I turn to dark thoughts that mirror the skies. Usually, it just inspires a creative force, something that makes me think in new ways. Sometimes I turn to writing poetry or stories. Other times, I just let my mind wander. In a strange way, the storms energize me and leave me refreshed, like the scene that played out before this picture — the day went from the depth of darkness, to a broad happy rainbow.
