November Sky

A slow ride down a gravel road in Northern Colorado brought me to a placid farm topped by a sky laced with shades of blue, white, and purple. It is good to be alive.

I like how the soft lines of the clouds echo the lines in the field. Not an exact mirror, but they carry the soft curing theme. Nice composition.

Yes, it is good to be alive. Thanks for reminding me.

  My sense is that you have a full and stimulating life where you are able to touch others all the time. That makes you much luckier than most. Thank you Mona.
