Clouds and Rice

Yesterday the wind was so high that I offered to drive my number two daughter home about 5:pm. On the way, I noticed the clouds were so beautiful I just had to have a picture. I headed up the highway, thinking I could find a good spot for a photograph near the park. Well, traffic was pretty heavy and I didn't really make it. I was aiming for the clouds low to the horizon. They had a dark layer on the bottom, and were white on top. By the time I reached the park, the white was turning pink, the clouds seemed even lower, and the traffic was heavy, so I took a shot through the windshield instead of getting out. But as I rounded the curve past the park, I glanced into my rearview mirror and saw an orange sky. OK. I had to turn around and head the other way, toward the bay. Made it just as the sun was sinking into the water.

Normally, I don't go driving at sunset. I don't see at all well in the dark, so for the sake of the general driving public, I stay off the roads. But I wasn't far from home this time, and I made it back before I turned into a pumpkin.
