Nature's little treats

[ringsandcoffee]

Since I was in the area, I got some take-out from Juan's then headed home. As I got on 51 to 202, the sky was a dusky blue and a full, yellow-orange moon was rising in the sky. As if that wasn't awesome enough, the color of the sky was hiding some clouds in the distance, inside which lightning was flashing. It may not be very green here in Arizona, but monsoon season offers some incredible sights. Lightning was rare where I grew up, and when we did have it, you saw the bolts. Here, more often, the lightning lights up the whole sky, inside the clouds. It might be clear blue in one area, and a gorgeous storm a few miles away.

So I'm heading east, mesmerized by the moon and storm, and then I drive past Tempe Town Lake, where the moon is reflecting off the water. Life is good.
