• Windswept

  

  It had rained all day, and then the storm was gone.
  Spence was cooking dinner while I worked at my desk…
  but my eyes kept being drawn to the window and the huge clouds moving by.
  The sun would set soon, once again I grabbed my camera and I was out the door.

  I drove up to Alta Laguna for the best cloud views.
  The wind was intense and surprising cold yet exhilarating.

  

  Looking off to the east and Wood’s Canyon
   after climbing up a ridge of wet sandstone

   

  Looking west into Canyon Acres, buffeted by gusts of wind,
   I’m happy to see the  late winter rains are greening up the dry hills.
  Then as the sun dipped beneath the clouds I turned around…

   
  

  Oh God!  How glorious is Your creation!
  Who are we that You are mindful of us
   and give us such intense moments of wonder!

  I know…
  we are Your children.
