Stormy Summer

The Sierra Nevada Waterfall, and lake in California, by Albert Bierstadt


Imagine walking out with your vanilla coffee, barefoot, to such a sight! I wonder how one would write in such breathtaking surroundings on your doorstep!

Today, was just such a beautiful day, I love stormy summer's.... I went out into the garden briefly, because I had left a silk scarf to dry on the line, and it was drenched... and the colour of the light that appeared to be the setting for all that grew was like a greyish, translucent late afternoon shimmer! I think I have an eyeshadow that very colour!

Footnote:
My mother reads my blog, and will then ring me if I haven't been active on it, and reproach me for my absence, today she said that this waterfall and landscape reminded her of her childhood in the Hill Stations around the Himalayas, and how she would shower in similar waterfalls. She said, that in front of the waterfall, there would be a path about 2 metres wide for walking along the foot of the waterfall, the water would suddenly slide across this path, so that it best it was only a few inches high, and dramatically fierce beside you, and then it would start again tumbling down and you knew it would rejoin the Ganges.
