#5.- Summer storms

I like summer storms. They are like a long  suspense movie: the first and small signals like ants collecting seeds, birds flying anxius, grey clouds filling the sky. Then sound of thundres so far away. Some minutes before start the storm the wind gets faster in a very characteristic way. The first 'gotas' that produce an special smell (the smell to tierra mojada), the lights and thunders and finally the storm. Parents and kids watching te storm througth the window, talking quietly, explaining the magic of ligth andthe difference with thunders.
When it finishes the calm return and the life goes on: the snails appear, the birds start to fly again and people go out from their homes.
Always the same script. Incredible, beautiful, amazing.
