Having come out of a huge, very late in the season, long lasting thunder storm, although a repeat, California Sky is very appropriate for this now beautiful day. I will return to "Marriage Talk 2" shortly
___________________________________________________________________ California Sky Storm over! Gray sky opening. California sky deep blue With startling white clouds Floating from here to infinity. Hills burnt brown with countless Days of year-round sunshine Now alive with velvet-like Green growth brought to Life by the kiss of heavens tears. Rolling hills with wind rippled Undergrowth born anew by Liquid touch As off in the distance Far mile upon mile Ragged mountains range with Snowy white crowns Leaving one to wonder If cloud topped Or snow covered. Haze of the city washed Clean by wind and rain Giving vision, So far as the Eye can see With crystal clarity. Storm over! Gray sky opening. ©April 14, 2012/ Mark M. Lichterman

There is something special how storm clouds give way to calm. Except when Eileen forgets to put the lid on the dog poop bucket. Nicely done. Patrick
