My wonderous observation skills!

Summer days in Florida are all the same. They start out all sunny and humid, it tricks you into thinking it's a good beach day. You finally get all ready for the beach, and then it starts pouring like it's never going to stop. Needless to say, it was pouring today when I wanted to go outside and observe, so I had to stay under my covered lanai. I pulled a chair up close to the pool enclosure netting stuff (in the covered part of my lanai of course), and I guess...observed! It's funny how you can look at the same things every day and never really notice them. I usually just overlook my backyard, but since I was actually looking this time, I noticed things I never had noticed before. People just pass by things and don't even notice the beauty or the detail. It's like they're looking, but not really seeing. I never noticed how many colors my backyard has in it. It's full of different kinds of flowers outlining the screen enclosure, different bushes and such a variety of plants make it hard to see everything without really sitting and examining everything. Since it was raining, there weren't many animals out. Usually in my backyard, there's a thousand birds and some cats that live in our yard that we feed. The branches of the trees were dripping with rain, and blowing in the wind, getting a few rain drops on my arm. The sky was rather dark, the clouds in the sky looked swirly and vicious. I heard thunder, and saw a small flash of lightning in the distance. It continued to rain and I watched the drops shower into my pool, making little dips in the otherwise flat surface of the water. Also, the water was dripping from the netting simultaneously with the falling drops.I decided this would be a good time for me to go inside, seeing as the weather looked slightly threatening, and I was inside a metal enclosure...
