The beauty of Rain

One of nature's gifts is the silence that follows rain.  Tranquility is the refreshing feeling that comes after the rain fades away.  The clean crisp silence that transcends as the storm calms. The smell of clean air and leaves on the trees that glisten as if tear drops have landed there for a moment to rest before they slide back into the earth..  It's beautiful when it rains and the sun is shining.  A mixture of two different seasons.  Then there is the rainbow that forms over the horizon.  An optical phenomenon where strobes of beautiful colors stream across the sky. All of this is a part of God's beautiful creation.
