I just LOVE the smell after it rains! Sprinkles is more like it here this summer too.
I feel the same way! I’ve been watering enough to keep things alive.
When we moved to the desert of Arizona the smell after rain was the one thing my son complained about regularly. He, like me, would go out after a rain in Pa just to smell the air, but the little it rained in AZ the worse the air smelled. His now wife, then his girlfriend told him repeatedly that there was no difference in the air after a rain. Now that she’s back in PA with him she understands why he missed it so much.
Oh, how I miss the sunrises, but more so the sunsets, living here in the valley. Trees mostly block my view of the sunrise. The hillside blocks the sunset. So know how much I appreciate seeing your view of the sun. You’re starting my morning on a wonderful, happy note.
I start nearly every morning stepping out my front door and checking what the day will bring. Our house sits up on a small knoll and the sunrises are such a beautiful sight across the flat fields. In the evening we get the beautiful sunsets shining through the grove of tall Pine trees. I’m always telling my kids to look at the pretty sky….I could fill a blog with pictures of both!–so thank you for enjoying it with me…
Off to take some “barn” pictures today!

I was so hopeful watching the weather forecast last night, but our “dry” conditions continue. Put the sprinkler on by 7AM. I’m worried for my garden!

How cute!
We had ten drops of rain last night. It is very dry here.
Such extremes this year!

I love the smell after a rain as well. Love the misty photo.
The fog line was nearly right up to me, and it was so pretty. 🙂
Stunning photo, very magical.
