I love the streak of light filtering up into the blue sky in this photo. I took it last week while sitting in the passenger side of the van. We were driving on the Trans Canada highway on our way home from a baseball game. It had rained lightly during the game, the clouds grey and full only to break up to deliver the late sun rays for our enjoyment. It had a calming enlightening feel to the moment. Another day ending and we were all well.

Mid August. How did that happen? Can it be that twilight is finding us earlier? Are the colours over the horizon more sharp and less hazy? Yes they are. I love the changes in the evening sky at this time of year because it speaks of the pending autumn where the earth's soul dwells. Autumn is my favourite time of year. But, it's still summer......late summer.........when the harvesting takes on active meaning.......when the wild blackberries ripen like glistening jewels on the vines.

Mid August. We have turned the corner on the middle of August. Did I have my eyes closed? How can this be? BE it is and I better catch up. I swear time moves more swiftly than it used to or maybe it's just more scary thinking about it.

Miles to go before the night becomes long.

And a few more August night skies to appreciate.
