view

since returning home last weekend, i have been noticing how beautiful the lake looks from our window. after almost a year of living in this apartment, i have begun to take the lake for granted; i can see it everyday, after all.

yesterday, however, it rained in the late afternoon and afterwards, in the two hours before sunset, a beautiful rainbow appeared over the water. it was a perfect arch and very deeply colored; i could see every color clearly.

and today, the lake is an intense blue. the sun is shining and there are cars and people all moving about; there is activity, activity, activity. yet the lake, just beyond all this activity, is still. and clear. it's a maltese blue, a thai blue. an indian ocean blue.
