far too hot, for too long

early morning clouds

hand colored preserving jar

in keeping with the sea themed interior

so hot here

this heat wave is un-natural

and we have been bombarded with heat waves this summer

if only
modern society would
take this predicament
more seriously

when i get tired of society
i look to people of the past and the present
to find solace and comfort
in art is one such way i find respite

a recent drawing of Henry David Thoreau
juxtaposed over  my cloud study
and a quote -
'Thank God men cannot fly,
and lay waste the sky,
as well as the earth.'
