The change of colour

A short time ago I had admitted to feeling rather flat but there has been a sea change at last  We have had several days of rain and in this area where I live it marks the real change in seasons

I live in the dry tropics and unlike other areas of the country where the change of seasons is more gradual into the four defined times of the year we really only have two seasons   The green and the brown

Now the green season has arrived and the transformation is remarkable .Many folk do not enjoy the rainy days and would no doubt agree with Longfellow when he wrote

“Into each life some rain must fall

Some days must be dark and dreary”

How can the days be  “dark and dreary” when you know the transformation around you is taking place !

The arrival of the rain lifts my spirits in anticipation of what is to happen and the wet days also provide the ideal time to read and reflect on life itself . While I have had the opportunity to witness the beauty of the seasonal changes in other parts of the world it’s the changes here that make the most impression on me
