After a long dry period, the rain finally decided to visit this part of Spain yesterday. The ground was already quite dry and dusty and the water reservoirs were slowly decreasing in water level. That is not good, especially after the winter when it was supposed to rain more and fill the water reservoirs.
However, nature has its own laws and decisions, it seems. April is not bad for rain either, the plants also know that. Only if we could understand how they feel.
Tired of waiting for the water that gives life or pleased with a few raindrops?
I was doing some errands that could be left for tomorrow. Nothing that had to be done today but I actually enjoyed being outside and seeing and feeling the rain. I saw more flowers that felt in the same way. Petunias were delighted with the new weather conditions - drizzling rain on a Monday morning.
On this little walk with an umbrella, a bag with my belongings and a camera that got a few drops on the lenses that I had to clean (probably in a very unprofessional way that every photographer would disapprove...🤐) I met pigeons, rocks and people too. {Thank goodness, we are not going to see only roses and petunias in this post.}
So, rocks. Not picking any of them today, just observing how nice they are when wet. The colours are more intense and we can also see some patterns on them. Look, it's a face here:
You guessed these pebbles are the ones from the beach. From there, the mountain looked like a small volcano with smoke.
The pigeons didn't mind anything; the clouds, the rain or my presence. Funny walk and searching for food among the rocks were their entertainment.
Later, when I left the beach and passed by the golf court, I saw other birds too. Ducks. What they were doing? 😱
The cigarette butts betrayed them.
The passers-by behaved well and didn't smoke like the ducks or the mountain. Each of them could have a different reason to take a walk on this rainy day and probably all were good ones... because going out without any goal but just feeling a few raindrops can be a pleasant activity too.
At least I had fun with these raindrops, birds, rocks, and umbrellas. (and no, don't ask how I dried the lenses from the water drops... 😂)
