For the past week we had been battered by rain. Why I say had is because I assume the worst is over. It so much felt like the Indian monsoon. Always wet, grey downpours. No respite at all. Unlike India where the monsoon makes you wanna go out and play in the rain without feeling cold, here it is not the same. Temperatures plummeted quite low making us want to switch on heating and reach out for the winter wear.
This evening when the skies slowly turned blue and white clouds seems to have replaced the grey ones, I put my chores on hold, grabbed the kids along with their bikes and headed out with the camera.
Everything was a beautiful lush green, thanks to the rains. Even the wild flowers never looked prettier. The fields were filled with crops growing steadily. I spotted corn and potato fields. The farmers too must be happy with the rain gods.
And amidst all the green, we spotted color...:-)
It was a beautiful time spent. Nature and us, became one.
The one very good thing about having been battered with rain IS that lush green look! Our soil is is so sandy we really need SEVERAL days a week of rain battering - - - and since we don't always get that, our grass starts turning crunchy and brown.
ReplyDeleteWe are "semi-green" now.
Last year we had scanty rains hence we were ranging between semi green to dry yellow..:-) This year it's a beautiful lush green, but am really done with these rains. I want some warmth desperately!!!
Deletewow very beautiful place- I wanna go to Lohr till I can figure out which train to ride from Frankfurt :-(
ReplyDeleteAny regional train(except ICE) from Frankfurt headed to Würzburg halts at Lohr am Main. The station is named Lohr Bahnhof.
