(not so) Speechless Sunday...
 
As I listen to the soothing sound of the rain pelting the roof, it reminds me of simpler times when I was younger. How I used to love to walk in the woods and feel the warm gentle rain stream down my face. Simple times, when life was not so complicated, so rushed. How I long for those times to return. I hope that everyone has a peaceful weekend.

As long as there is rain and walks in the woods, we can find the peace and simplicity if we just look. Beautiful pic, Michael!

I had this same nostalgic feeling yesterday.....I was watching my Dad coach some little boys basketball (simply adorable) and just watching their innocence brought me back to my perfect childhoold!  Ahhh

Michael - I used to think that things were a easier when we didn't have any of these electronic gadgets, and maybe that's why I usually turn mine off when I'm done with the day's business. If i tried to read all of my e-amil as it came, i would never even sleep, so sometimes you have to say that it's time to shut it off and chill.

It matters to us as much as it matters to you.

Michael,  your photo reminds me of a summer rain.  I used to enjoy walks on those days too, but I am ready for the winter rains to stop.  One thing for sure though, a winter rain beats a winter snow.

Rain makes me appreciate the warmth and comfort of my home. Today I have appreciation for a simple sunny Sunday after a few days of gloom.

Amazing photo. So still and beautiful in all its detail.

MIchael, I love the sounds of rain, thunder and wind...and a good light (lightening) show is also, never disappointing to me.

Michael, oh how true it is!!  When I was a little girl growing up in northern Ontario my parents had a little house (600 sq ft) that we shared with my grandmother (after my grandfather died).  The roof was metal and the sound of the rain was amplified in the house, but somehow it was peaceful and relaxing.  Thanks for all your great photos.

I too really liked walking in the rain, especially with someone like-minded. Now rain is usually a nuisance! And that is sad.
