The gathering of storm clouds in the mountains is really the definition of Anticipation. You await what is to come. The storm brings violence and the threat of fire through lightening. It is also noisy as windows shake to the sound of thunder. But at the same time the storm brings rain. Rain water is life to plants, animals,and us. After the rain the earth says thank you with green and growing things. The smell of the earth in the woods after a rain is one of life too. The process shows natures duality.

Charlie,
Awesome picture! We enjoy (experience) these kinds of storms over here in Oklahoma too. I LOVE the smell of the earth after a good refreshing rain!
HI Charlie, send some of that wet stuff our way please. We saw clouds in the distance this week, but it was way off... I know, we will get rain again, someday. It wasn't too long ago that Georgia was in a drought. I like hearing the Thunder, its the lightening that scares me.
Hi Charlie,
I love the title, and the Photo! Wow! it looks like quite a storm is coming! When we get storms like that, I love to look up into the sky. Sometimes the clouds have the movement of the ocean, they look like big rolling waves!
Enjoy the Rain!
Judy
Charlie,
Very poetic...!!! Thanks, Fran
Lightening? Thunder? Rain? What are these strange words you use here at ActiveRain? LOL
Hi Charlie:
Anticipation of Precipitation
Say that five times!!!
Hi Charlie, I experienced one of these wonder storms today and it was so nice to know that earth/living things was getting a much needed rain. The smell of the warm wet earth was wonderful. Love your picture.
Charlie, those clouds look like they are rolling in and, hopefully, over.
