Oh, what a lovely shade of dusk-purple....

...those clouds are. Ran my errand (namely, to get and hand over a form to get my medical records transferred to my new provider) and on the way over, they said we'd havve a Storm with possible lightning and hail over us in the next 45 minutes. So an hour later I was back at the office...20 minutes after that, it's just showing up. No hail, no lightning, but some general rumbling and a lovely shade of purplish dark grey to the clouds.

Work is going well. So's the weather, but gee, glad the fact that I was out means I'm staying a little later. It looks like it won't take too long to pass over us.

I have no words. Or few.

I am not sure, but I think we probably needed to act against Iraq. I do not believe that doing so now, or in this way, was the best choice, however. I don't often write about politics, partially because I feel I don't always know enough and also because I don't generally want to discuss them.

Just now, for example, I want to vote Bush and a goodly chunk of Congress out of office and start over....

As for thoughts on this war, I think to this post by camwyn, which says it so much better than I could.

And more rainbows!

Naturally, posting the best rainbow pic I managed - leads to better ones today. I was just coming out of work this evening with the storm having just passed us (it only rained - but Scott got lightning & hail - there was still leftover hail in the flowerbed when I got home). It was a double rainbow, and it came out almost as vivid as when I saw it.

The first shot below was taken through the car's window while rain covered it; I like the effect, and the colors are truer. You can see the double coming into the tree just right of center in the photo.

      

When I got home, I took a few pictures of the stormclouds. Most didn't turn out, but one did, showing the storm/sunset clouds over my neighbor's house:



Those are relatively true colors. The clouds were slightly more yellowish - the house should be beige - and the picture's a bit dark, but even so...that is pretty much it.

Because it's true, and because it's there:

I wish for peace.
