Up in the clouds
Do you see that out there? The strange, unfamiliar light? It’s called the sun. Let’s go get us a little.
~ Nora Roberts, The Hollow
The sun came to visit today, and turned the sky the most amazing shades of blue. Although I had plenty of work to do indoors, I couldn’t resist the call to go out and play.
Closer to home

Impressionism on the pond: Reflections from the woods.
As each experience arises, live it out as fully and deeply as possible; think it out, feel it out extensively and profoundly; be aware of its pain and pleasure, of your judgments and identifications. Only when experience is completed is there a renewal. We must be capable of living the four seasons in a day; to be keenly aware, to experience, to understand and be free of the gatherings of each day.
~ J. Krishnamurti

I hadn’t planned to participate in this week’s Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge. Mother Nature made it impossible to say no by providing some gorgeous colors at sunset yesterday evening. I can’t resist shiny objects and pretty colors.

The party went well. I am fairly certain a good time was had by all. Everyone looked happy. That’s usually a good sign.
