Rain!

It has been raining all day. And it has been making some pretty colours. It has been super duper distracting at some points. I zone out and then zone back in and I have no idea what has been going on.  It is that amazing.

When the rain hit the ground, it made bright red and orange fly everywhere from where it landed. The red is the colour of a red whiteboard pen on paper. It has that fluffy texture in its shade. And the orange isn't the bright, glaring orange of anger. But it's like the shade of a 'crayola' felt pen. And when it hit the ground the colours just flew everywhere. And when the colours collided they made a colour which is similar to the colour of the skin on a nectarine/peach.

When the rain hit the leaves on some sort of leafy thing, a delicate blueish-indigo (that's a really bad description of the shade) , would zoom off the leaf. The blue is like a baby blue but an awful lot brighter and the indigo part is kind of navy but not navy and a deep purple, but not even purple.

On the way home from school, the rain would bounce of the cars, buses, vans and lorries in a tealish colour. It's like the shade on a colour chart for paint. The only way I can describe it is by comparing it to a turquoise, except it is a lot lot lighter than that, but it still has the intensity. It is a pretty awesome colour.

So, that's been my day. Nothing has held my attention properly if rain has been in sight. And I think that's fair. It is so pretty! Colours everywhere! The heavier the rain, the more explosive the colour. If that makes sense. I could say brighter, but that's the totally wrong word. But so is intense. The colour just explodes!

When there is heavy rain, and strong wind and thunder, the colours are far less explosive than in a light drizzle of rain or a downpour of rain. The wind causes the rain to collide and make silver sparks, almost like on a sparkler. You know when they first catch alight and just before they die and go to sparkler heaven? It sparks like that and in silver. The silver is bright and shiny!

The thunder is a deep velvety purple. Not the colour of velvet, but it's deep like velvet and is such a deep colour that it could be black if you made it any deeper, but it's grey because it would be black if it was any deeper. It is like a deep plumish-purple. But there is grey mixed in to it. The clap of thunder tastes like a really dark, bitter chocolate. More bitter than that however. But it's chocolatey at the same time. Like dark chocolate is.

The heavy rain makes the colour of the rain hitting objects way more explosive and there. If that makes sense?

But anyway, rain is amazing to look at. I could quite easily get lost in it! But rain is cold, and wet and annoying because you get wet and you get water in your shoes which results in cold feet and a grumpy person. But it is BEAUTIFUL nevertheless!
