... altocumulus sky this morning lit from below, 7:35 a.m., just as I'm dropping E. at school. We both gasp: the underside of each cloud a bright salmon pink. Fabulous.

Heading down towards the Ring I try to take a photo with my phone but it's pointless - no way a picture can do justice to such serene expansive grandeur. In any case, I nearly swerve off the road.

By 9 a.m. an utterly different sky.

Inevitably.
