February Skies

The light below the dark grey clouds is electric in that way that makes everything crisp and bright - picked out by the sun's light but not bathed in gold rays. In the distance there is a troubled line where the dark grey meets lighter grey clouds - rain is falling over there. It makes it seem dryer than dry over here. Everything is still as can be. Trees point up towards the sky without waving, their branches and trunks green and amazingly orange brown. Its the calm before the storm. We will be lucky if there isn't a downpour any minute.
