The day was hot with a sky rich 
and pure as a piece of blue silk.

Swiftly . . . it all changed.

Racing white clouds dashed with a fury,
whipping through the sky.

A wind caressed my face.

And then the rain tumbled down.

    Aptly titled. Beautiful piece but as much as I love the sky, I'm also loving the colorful ground. I bet this fabulous in person.

    Thank you. It is nice that each of you liked a different aspect too - from the wind, sky to the ground - cool!

    I think many would love a reprieve from the heat, so a whipped up storm - albeit an imaginary one - would be quite refreshing.
