I used to have this habit of taking photos of the sky wherever I go. I just love the sky and I appreciate that it’s not so smogged up here that I can’t see a clear blue sky anymore. I love it most when I’m floating on my back in the pool staring at the vast blue on top of me, or counting clouds and looking at shapes.
I was about to get all geared up a couple of hours ago. Get some water on the back, some sun on the skin, and some sky for the soul. Then I head it. Thunder. Lightning too, probably. I have a phobia of thunder-lightning and pools. A few years ago, I was doing laps at Stampark under an overcast sky. Half way through a pull and a kick, a crack of lightning reflected ooff the bottom of the pool. It was like an electric socket blew off. It was a distance away but it sure did freak me out. Add to that that my mama always taught me never to swim when there’s thunder, ever since I was a tiny tot. And there you have my phobia.
Still, it’s a beautiful muggy day that started with a brilliant blue sky that’s being chased away by some pretty awesome clouds.
I love that I actually have time to blog today.
