Some interesting things around here

Thy sky has been amazing between rains.
I love fall, the light changes here. It is very subtle to most people. Even the ones that live here.
I see the small changes that are this area's signs of season changing.

This to me is a perfect southern California fall sky. It sparkles with clean.
We have even had rain and are expecting more this week and colder weather this year.
I also had a cactus bloom over the last couple of weeks, it is probably confused.

It looks almost female, doesn't it? It is the cactus goddess.

And these are just because I love the way these pics turned out.

Have a great week my friends, get to work on your Christmas presents, now, if you haven't already.
Be thankful for everything.
Heard this on one of Oprah's shows.
Thought for the day??
"Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could be any different"

Sky before the Storm

These are pictures from the night before the big storm.

This is one of the most beautiful skies and I have been seeing them for days.

The fronts when they come in bring beautiful skies and maybe threats of rain.

Having painted for a good many years, when I see a sky like this I say "boy, that looks just like a painting"

But what I mean to say is,

This sky right here would make a beautiful painting.

No artist I know has anything on Mother Nature, some are very close though.

We are so blessed in her beauty every day.

We have had very liquid sunshine for days; my laundry room is flooded,

there was a tornado watch today, weird.

I am so glad I took a picture of these, they are not doing too well after slashing rain and winds yesterday and today.

They smell divine.

Stay warm and dry with love in your hearts.
