Driving into the sunset today I reveled in the glory of the winding road, lovingly surrounded by walls of pine and citrus grove. The sky was dappled like a great American flag; red light stretching over the hills, fading to cream cloud as the pulsing orange sun dipped down, and crowned with a beautiful pale blue heaven over all.
The sun finally set, and the whole sky was no longer flushed with rose petals, but was as ethereal and blue as summer dreams. Every time I drove past an orange grove the heavenly perfume scented the air and I could smell it for miles.
Amid all the loveliness the space shuttle took off, tracing a bright spark in the sky as it plunged spaceward, and I wished them luck in reaching their destination as I raced towards my own.
