When I am driving I tend to think of things that I might want to blog about. It is a time that I tend to reflect on things. Okay, if I am listening to a good book, maybe not so much reflection, but I haven't been listening to a book since I finished my last one. Any how, tonight as I drove home there was a lovely sky to watch. For almost 70 miles north-ish from my last job I watched the sky change. I took a few pictures before I left, but none along the way (safety first!) or after I got home. If this isn't the first of my blogs that you have seen, you probably have noticed that I like looking at the sky. Tonight my drive encompassed the majority of the time it takes the sun to set. There was rain earlier in the day and the clouds were breaking up when I left work. The sky just kept getting larger as the clouds rose and thinned themselves. There was an artist at work constantly making small changes to the color and shape of the sky. One minute the sun would be reflecting off the bottom of a cloud turning it a light orange/yellow, then things would take on a darker, gray hue. There were layers and holes. Grays, yellows and blue all competing for attention. The waxing moon was bright, observing the changes. If I could paint, this is a night I would have liked to do so.
These two pictures were taken from about the same spot--
but looking in different directions.
Earlier in the day I went to a family lunch with my father's side of the family. There were only 6 of us today. It was a better dynamic in a way, less people so easier to talk to everyone a little and hear conversations. Always good to see family that I don't get to see often. This is my
happy for today. One of the things that I thought about was whether it would be possible for other sides of my family to do something similar on a regular basis... Hmm...
