Yesterday evening, I awoke from a casual doze just as a spectacular sunset covered the High Desert. That sky had been following a few days of rainy, chilly weather. I stared in delight and awe, doubting that my camera skills would effectively capture the colors. Certainly, good images would be available from public sources the next morning. Thus, today’s header photo, published by a local news channel, captures that amazing sky precisely as I saw it.
Those real-time moments of seeing brought great delight. The fantastic sky made me immediately understand that my experience of it was the very special birthday gift I had been promising myself. Its extraordinary beauty, representing the summer edge of spring, occurred just before my birthday this week.
Looking at last night’s vibrant sunset sky, its colors, patterns, and movements, my emotions resonated—probably on a visceral level. The glorious natural colors brought me inner feelings of warmth, joy, nostalgia, and a sense that a stormy sky’s passing hinted strongly at spring’s arrival.
More is coming. As late spring arrives in our High Desert, there’s much to see and record.
Dear Friends: An often active, awesome sky has been gifting us all this season. Diana
