Rainwater on window

Now that’s a headline you don’t see in Toronto very often. We’ve been blessed with unseasonably warm temperatures over the past few days making it seem like April especially due to the rain today! That’s right, rain in November here in Toronto. I hear the weather is like this in Vancouver for most of the winter but guess what? Lately, snow storms have been raging through Vancouver and Victoria (cities in British Columbia)! Looks like we’re not the only ones in for a shocker when it comes to weather these days.

Anyway, rain doesn’t bother me. In fact, I’m someone who loves rainy weather. It’s just something about the aroma, the sights and sounds of rainy weather that make me love it. Not only is rain beneficial for plants and other things, it’s something that fills the world around you with amazing sounds. It’s truly a blessing from Allah (subhanahu wa Ta’ala).

If I’m ever outside after sunset and it is raining, I’m filled with amazement at how reflective roads are to lights. Have you ever paid attention to that? It’s a beautiful sight. Being a photography enthusiast, I often think about composing a photograph and think about how awesome it would be for a camera to capture what my eyes see. Then again, the feeling I get can’t be expressed in a photograph.

SubhanAllah.
