Rain could be a lot more colourful. Maybe if our eyes were a bit different, it would be. That could be wonderful or distracting. Would you like to be wonderfully distracted?
i’ve always loved heavy rain. it seems like it would be worth everybody’s time if the world stopped to appreciate a bit more beauty and wonder whenever something like it happened.
people who are reliant on the land call it a miracle, a joyous event, whenever the world chooses to impart this phase of its ecosystem upon them. people of the city call it an inconvenience.
Colour is really hard to do well as a print, especially when there are more than three colours. That’s why all the postcards so far are just black ink episodes.
We throw crayons at the sky, hoping it will turn colors so that people will stop fighting and look up. We collect the paint in buckets, the sidewalks run rivers of rainbow. Rainbow Road can be raced on now. Weather forecasts will be highly accurate ;)
Just as long as the rain isn’t coloured by something nasty from a factory smokestack… I appreciate clean rain as long as I don’t have to push my roomie’s wheelchair or ride my bike in it. The sky cleans itself, then cleans the earth… Everything is refreshed and the colours seem renewed, even if it’s not coloured rain.
Where I live, a summer storm may rain sand on the land…on the city…on the cars…on the clothes hanging out to dry. Summer clouds pick up the sandstorms over the desert and bring them over the Mediterranean to dump the Sarah wrapped in rain on Spanish cities.
I’ve always associated anonymity with being able to pull off immoral acts one wouldn’t do in mixed company.
But I can’t imagine anyone doing anything bad when it’s raining liquid rainbows from the sky. I wish there was a rain that muddied everything up instead of washing it away…
I just thought of this: the raindrops look like they’re going up into the clouds. What if they were stripping the color away from the earth and putting them in the clouds?
We’d probably be used to it, if that were the way it were. We would have paint-proof umbrellas and peel the dried color off them in big sheets at the end of the day. And probably throw them out. We would learn not to be distracted, or even consider it interesting. So it would be better if it were a rare, rare occurrence…
Colorful water? We have that. Polluted lakes or oceans tend to have such fancy colors.
Seriously, rain is fancy enough the way it is. People just don’t realize it. Colorful rain wouldn’t change our life or the way people behave. There are far more amazing wonders in the world that are ignored by the vast majority of people. Mostly by the people who say “oh, science destroys all the wonders and secrets”. Cause if things are just interesting if people deny their real nature, it’s nothing but a lie. That’s just another way of being too dull to appreciate the things for what they are and see the hidden wonders in the “every day” stuff.
People should try to appreciate the density anomaly of water. Really. Even colorblind people are able to enjoy it.
I’ve always loved wondering over the density anomaly of water. I love that it makes the universe just that much more bizarre, and that if it weren’t for this anomaly, life as we know it would not be possible. It’s truly amazing.

I live in a rural community; trust me, no-one bitches about he weather like farmers, and rain at the wrong time could mean lost crops and rotting hay.
I want this one as a card! It would go well with the others.
I plan to do a painting version of this.

I’ll think about this, though.
I am almost always wonderfully distracted :)
It’s the attack of the Crayola colored pencils! Seriously, this is what the inside of my “coloring tools” box looked like.

“life is a canvas”
hehe, that made my night brighter
how are you so amazing?

I actually like that ambiguity a lot.

I like rare beauties.
