The changing skies

The skies were incredibly varied yesterday. The light alternated between barely daylight and the eerie brightness that comes with an electrical storm. The rain came in bucket loads, and the clouds were of every imaginable shape. The boom of thunder, the crack of lightning, and the splatter of rain against the skylight came, went, and came again, all afternoon.

Later, as we were given a brief respite from the rain, I walked down the road with my two youngest. Our road is s-t-e-e-p, but the picturesque surroundings at the bottom of the hill are worth a climb. The pond has many different birds as visitors or residents , and we enjoy watching and listening to their antics. Yesterday, though, the birds were all on the opposite shore, and the pond was still. The reflections of trees, clouds and sky were breathtaking.
