Sky Paintings 5: Sky After Rain

Welcome rain came down in torrents, in the midst of a California drought.

After the rain, sun streamed through pure white cloud and pristine blue sky.

Magic.

Celebrating YOU,  San Francisco!

Thank You for the beauty, inspiration, healing, energy, experiences, and opportunities over so many years.

Thank You for embracing me, and setting the stage for me to work so hard, and learn so much.

I remember You, I love You, and I will visit You in future halcyon days.

See You later!

Pictogram III: Sky High in Santa Monica

Worth a thousand words?  It would take a poet’s skill to capture these painting of nature  in words. So much we could say..but the “pictogram”  says it all.

Happy Sky-Gazing!
