Cloudscapes

This morning a deluge of rain poured down about this cottage, refreshing the pond and greening the leaves. Later, the sun broke through and clouds took shape about the horizon like sculptures in the wind...

And it was just after the rain had come that a bird flew up to our deck and perched for a good 15 minutes or so... it was a Belted Kingfisher, about 9 inches long and with a crop of unruly hair about its head. And just as I reached for the camera it disappeared as quickly as it had come.

Today I began work at the Finger Lakes School of Massage-I am a co-coordinator of student services for the part time program, which is kind of like being vice principle, guidance counsellor and administrator all rolled into one....it is challenging and I have a lot to learn, but it is a wonderful environment and I feel privileged to be entering into this new chapter.


On our way back down the hill from Ithaca to the cottage, here was the sky that met us.

Beautiful.

The dramatic evening sky reminded us of the moment-to-moment gift of light and life and blessed us with majestic splendour.
