We won't have the dark greens and drying up colors of fall for while yet, but for me it's the last week of summer. Kids have started back to school and there is a slight crispness to the early mornings. This morning I was fortunate enough to see fabulous clouds of an early morning thunderstorm building in the south just as the sun came up to light them magnificently in lush creams and pinks. I tried a photo but just couldn't capture the beauty well enough to pass it on, and didn't want to wake Bob, who's the real photographer!

Congratulations to Physician's Regional Hospital for purchasing "In the August Sun" and "Alone with a Palm!" They're at the framers now and you should see them soon in the lobby of the Dr's office building on Collier Blvd.
