crashing

as i rode my bike home from work, the clouds were billowing on top of each other, the lightening started, thunder booming, and right as i got into my little apartment, i opened the curtains and watched the rain spalsh the window

mountain time

two days spent in the mountains...watching the last of the golden aspens flutter in the breeze and finally start their descent to the ground.  seeing craggy peaks reflected in clear glassy ponds, cattails nodding along the edges.  and hiking above treeline amongst the peaks and dried herbs and leaves from the summer's bounty.
