A rendezvous with rain at the beach.

Rain awakens my spirits and expressions. The sight, sound and smell of rain always entices me. It is pure bliss to walk in the drizzling rain, the drops falling on my face and making a soft music. As I walked to the beach, I could see few people seated on the low pavement wall running back to their cars and those who were on the sand head towards the small vendors with an umbrella.

The sky was covered with dark billowing clouds and few white fluffy clouds scattered that reminded me of the cartoon character Casper the friendly ghost. I could see those standing near the water edge scramble hurriedly, giving me a strange look. The drizzling rain drops falling around,  I stood on the water edge as the waves came to tickle my toes.  I could see some of them rushing madly for shelter, while others like me enjoyed the rain. Those who have never experienced it, would never understand the unbridled joy of soaking  bare feet in the waves of the sea and the euphoria of getting drenched slowly in the drizzling rain.

The sea was calm and the waves splashed with the sprays hitting my face. The ripples left by the receding waves in the sand fascinated me. I experienced a different aspect of  the beach, an unexpected  rendezvous with rain. It is a beautiful experience getting caught in the rain at the beach. A sudden gush of wind send a shiver inside me, but I was too absorbed in my thoughts, standing in the water with the raindrops falling all over me, to bother about it. It was a wonderful evening by the seaside in the rain, a beautiful experience to remember.

The smell of the sea, the sprinkle and tickle of waves as they kiss your toes; the feel of each grain of sand, the footprints on the sand and the ripples formed by the receding waves warms my heart. There is no better place to be in than along the beautiful sandy beach in the rain with the waves lapping at your feet,  to soothe your soul
