The Light Fantastic

There have been thunderstorms moving through...our first of the season. How fitting that they should arrive today...on the first day of my birth month. The first day it has felt like summer.

Amidst the rumbling, flashing, brooding and ever darkening-ness of this evening, the sun came out. The black sky beyond looked all the blacker; the rainbow that much more beautiful. And, since the sun chose the very moment it was hailing to come out, the sky was full of tumbling opals...ice on fire.

And, this delicious sky is the aftermath of the atmosphere's hissy fit...





*sigh*.... :)
