After the rain!


The alluring smell of the sand,
When the chill entering my hand
The gushing sound of rain
That faded away all my pain
Mind scouting for a warm place
To get warmth on the face
Wishing to have a hot cup of tea
And to stroll beside the shores of sea!
As I sat on my couch
It was blissful that I can vouch
To watch the rain from window
And the wide spread green meadow!
I sank into my favourite book
Giving the rain another look
Seconds moved into hours
And then I remembered to scour
The vessels I left in the sink
But I thought of having a drink
When I returned back with my glass
I found something shining on the grass
Ah! Rain has decided to stop    
And I saw the water plop
From the trees that stood high
I wouldn’t question the rain why
Because the sun was peeping out
And it decided to scout
The lovely dew drops shining
But I couldn’t stop whining
My laziness to take a photo
That was long back my motto
Took my toy machine
Decided to break my routine
The fresh smell of leaf
Is something no one can beef!
Its pleasing lustre and hue
When the sky was all blue
I started to click my shot
Until I realised that I have had a lot!
See for yourself the result
For it’s more than a reason for me to exult!!



The rain drops that is seated on all the naked stems!






I should have used my macro lens, but had no time to change the lens, and took this with maximum zoom




I've blurred the background here intentionally, but still the shot could've been better!


PS: But I have to say this - the rain today was awfully windy and stormy :(  
Goes without saying, I did not take these pictures today, but on a nice, calm rainy day!

    Vaish I just loved the pics... amazing... you have such an eye for that detail... and capturing the little beautiful things around yes. Esp loved that only drop of rain, which u could not zoom further. I'm inspired :)

    So do u use photoshop or something to enhance the beauty of pics or they are just as u clicked?

    The poem was soft and soothing... tells a lot about you as a person!

  17. Dear Watson,
    This Lady is in love. Read the flow of her muse and the camera she put to good use
    A mind content to see and apppreciate those litle charms of Nature.
