Of storms and sunsets

Nature is just so amazing - one day dark threatening storm clouds and rain; and the next more threatening clouds that become the canvas for a burning shimmering sunset.

Fiona and I often look out our windows and glass doors and see these scenes unfolding and just know how fortunate we are to live where we live - perched on an escarpment looking across the valley and mountain ranges. All photos are taken with the iPhone and unaltered.

  5. MD,VA,V & JM - when traveling for work-work as we are it it an indulgence of mine at times to post on home - almost a reminder to myself about the beauty to return to. And JM I intend that it refreshes me. F & I are aware of just how much we have with that view. VA - we have a home office for work-work which faces away from the view - good idea? V that last photo reminds me of your most recent post - not only shared interests but a shared sky. Go well. B
