This morning the light on the ridge was glorious! A harbinger of a beautiful day. Then it began to drizzle. When the light faded it went quickly. Last week was a beautiful evening that made the entire sky glow. I took pictures in all directions.
A crack in the sky let the sun light up the ridge. 
The blue oaks looked like they had fall color, but they are leafless. 
The other evening the entire sky glowed. 
To the south over our home. 
To the north over the hills.
