    Its a little cloudy here but not densely clouded as it was yesterday. the clouds are ringed with pale pink and gold but with a dense dark interior. They are on the move, so I think we will get patches of heavy rain. Very pretty though.

    I think I might plant a moon garden too, this year.

    Dearest CoCo,

    I have to thank you for this thread. I have my camera in hand most of the time, and I just love capturing something that stirs me. You have given me a place to share. I think we were observing very close to the same Northern California sky

    Greetings, quietlyleaving and beks:

    After 3 weeks away, I'm back in my 'hood, though I was staying in one of California's loveliest valleys. Snow-capped peaks awaited each night's arrival of the lunar lamplighter to set their majesty aglow.

    Please continue to shoot and share, beks.

    CoCo

    Dear Friends,

    How are things in the 'hood today?

    Lovely here in northern California, as I contemplate from afar the snow-capped peaks of the Coast Range ...

    The rain, continuous for several days now, would surely flood us out were we not holding firmly to an upper elevation plot of land. I bolted once again yesterday afternoon despite Wind's gleeful promise to drive Brother Rain down my otherwise tightly-drawn jacket collar and firmly-laced boots. It was a wash, but I had to get out.

    What distant hills showed through the pummeling downpours and less ferocious but still entwining and scurrying mists were set off in vague relief, their black-green against an all-enveloping gray. Houses of every description, foundations grasping tenaciously to inclines perceived less menacing in times of sunshine and fair winds, shuddered in the bluster of long-delayed, pent up winter fury.

    The weather has eased somewhat, and the hillside homes shake themselves off, awaiting the next round ...

    It rained here too.

    (But I like your version better.)
