One of the main majors at the college where I teach is meteorology - one of the professors has that picture on his wall, with and explanation. I find it fascinating.

Even though I don't think I'd wanna go into that field, working at a place where there are so many people who love weather - any weather! - is pretty cool.

I would like that I think. Can't explain it, but the thing that is most missing from my existance here in the city is being able to just sit and watch the weather. Some of the *most* incredible things I have seen were just sitting in my front yard, looking northwest and watching northers blow in. The sky becomes the most *incredible* shade of blue. No wonder they're called blue northers! And I could just sit and watch them move in from miles away!

And in the spring... waiting for the showers. I don't know what makes it so but before the showers and afterward something is different and the colors on trees is different. A more vibrant and intense colors on the green of the foliage. And somehow, whatever the difference in the light is it *accentuates* the varying, intricate shades of green. There is no way to describe either of these things but completely worth sitting and watching and waiting for them to happen. Nothing compares.
