Blue black & silver

The sky was spectacular last night – though best looked at through the big kitchen window than from outside where it was blustery & very cold.

The moon is nearly full & the high sky an inky blue; a few straggly pieces of stately cumulus hovered, bathed in silvery light.

But underneath flat black clouds raced from the west, looking like clods of earth washed off the edge of a continent. There did not seem enough of them to threaten rain however, & there were no sings of any late morning.

This Friday afternoon we have been treated to a few real deluges however. Almost seems like old times are back.
