Sometimes, what we see or experience as normal is uncommon and rare for others.
Rare means an event, situation, or condition that doesn't occur often
Uncommon means out of the ordinary; unusual
Sometimes, just sometimes, it's not the rare cloud formation, eclipse or catching the echidna mating train on camera
Sometimes, it's the very things we take for granted that for many are rare and uncommon
