Natures fury

I’ve just been out for a (relatively quick) bike ride through the wetlands enjoying the colors of autumn and the show nature always provides at this time of year.

There was an extra feature to this bike ride though, the air has a pre-storm tension to it.

I love being outside when nature starts to build her fury,the feeling of tension that builds before a storm.
The wind picks up, the skies cloud over and darken, the air cools down and fills with electricity and anticipation.

It’s a great time to be out amongst nature, it adds a certain something to the wilderness, an energy that you don’t feel at any other time. But it also makes you appreciate being inside all that much more too.  It’s easy to forget what it is your actually being protected from when your curled up in front of a warm fire with the rain and wind beating against the windows. Being out in it reminds you of what that beating sound at the window really is.
