Smoke

The pre-dawn sun lightened the sky enough to see a narrow trail of solid clouds slicing it's way from the east off to the southwest. The sun was splashing orange from below and it looked for all the world like the sun was violently blowing fiery smoke across the sky.

While driving lakeside the mirrored image was gray and mysterious and I drove quietly in beauty.

When I got to work I realized I had my camera at hand, and it would have been only a seconds pause to catch the moment if it had ever occured to me.
