Colors of Change

Good Evenin'

Well, the weather come in a little quicker than what they said, but all in all, a nice day. Started out like a sweet spring day; beautiful silky clouds, all pearly and grey, on a luminous blue sky. The temp was mild and the air was moist. Then, a matter of minutes, it seemed we were over cast and sprinklin'; must a been the cold air movin' in.

But, for November, pretty mild; showers off and on, maybe 60 degrees. And, it did make for a pretty fine nap, with the tent all buttoned up and a good fire in the stove.

And, I did get a little done in the office and made it out ta see the bunch just before dark and a small but vociferous thunderstorm. Pretty, pretty, comin' back over the hill, with the fadin' light, dark clouds and a light rain, bringin' out deep rich colors, from the black, black of stump, trunk and twig, to the tender green of the sage, the red and brown comin' outta the dirt and the gramma grass, brilliant rose cream; an aria of light midst the otherwise muted tapestry.

A flake for the boys, beans for the cowboy, a note to my friends and sweet dreams, god willin'.

Have a good one.

Best,


jeune

  1. So beautiful ... I can "see" your landscape when the earth and sky blend all together like watercolors ... hard to tell where one color leaves off and the other starts.

    It thunder-snowed here today ... wild ride. The whole "drum and bugle corp" of the sky got into the act. I would think some sunshine would be a wonderful bath of softness this time of year.

    Blessings,
    Peaceful

  2. Amazing skies all around. This afternoon, looking west, there was blue sky in the far west, but right above me the clouds were fluffy cotton balls suffused with golden light around the edges - gorgeous. To the easy, the sky was almost gelatinous, with bas-relief clouds lit peach color from behind, as darker streaks indicated the presence of rain.

    Nature's the most creative set decorator around, far better than even the most talented artist. People walking by saw me standing in the middle of the busy parking lot, looking up, staring at the sky, and glanced up briefly, but then hurried off to wherever they were headed.

    Hope those dreams were sweet.
