The Sky is a Masterpiece

Normally people say to stop and smell the roses, but today, it's a rainstorm.

I was reading outside (North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell in case you were wondering) and the sun was shining through fluffy white clouds with patches of blue sky. I finally noticed that it was getting darker and darker when I looked up and saw this ominous grey cloud blocking out the sun. A rain storm was approaching. The wind picked up and it was getting colder. At this point I had stopped reading my book but instead I was watching the blue fade behind the grey rain clouds.

Generally, people just glance at the sky once and call it good. But the way a storm takes over the sky is beautiful! Next time it looks like it might be a downpour, stop and watch the scenery in the sky slowly change from relaxing and warm to dark and fierce...

Mother Nature is an excellent artist!
