As the Clouds Emass in the Mountains

It rained last night in the valley. I did not hear it. The wet pavement gave it away. At sunrise, the clouds were massing along the foothills and into the mountains. The air smeeled like early spring.. no flowers yet but wet.

As I started my walk today, I noticed this huge bank of cumulus clouds to the East. They were almost uniformly black and grey. What a contrast to the blue sky above them. Then as the sun started to light the sky and change the contrast, the tips of these monstrous clouds became pink. And later in another set the outlined top of the clouds were brilliantly white.

The show is over now, and the sky is uniformly morning.
