Spring Evening

Beautiful colors the other evening,
silhouetting the budding trees,

and soon after that,
a waxing crescent moon against the bright blue sky.

This week’s theme is: Imagination

basement library
shelving my Stephen King books
lightning flash; darkness

Thankfully, my power did not go out this afternoon. An impressive thunderstorm did brew up while I was putting books away – stark lightning, crashing thunder, pounding rain (hail?). Enough to spook the cats, at which point I came back upstairs because my imagination was having a field day.
