The Sky

We live just over the hill from Contra Loma Regional Park... acres and acres of hills and trails. Up the street a few blocks (and up a pretty steep hill) there is one of several public access gates and trails over the hill and down to the Contra Loma Resevoir. It's a great place to walk... a great back yard. Here's one look in the spring. There's a trail around the lake that Virginia and I really enjoy. It's pretty flat, serene, and the views range from pretty cool to spectacular.

Tonight was one of those spectacular evenings... cool... no breeze to speak of... lake like glass... and the sky... well the sky was one of those to write home about. Hmmm... guess that's what I'm doing, eh?!?

We don't have many clouds this time of year, but we did tonight... not thick clouds, but those high layered and rippled clouds that can catch the sun so marvelously. It's always hard to describe these things, but maybe this will jump start your imagination...

Before we got back to the house, the color was gone and it was nearly dark. But we still got to walk, and we still got to see the sky... together.
