31st and Final Small Stone: Stuck Sun

The sun seems stuck in the peach tree notch for a long time.  Should I help it?   It will take care of itself.  

28th Small Stone: Slanting Sunrays

Santa Ana Condition with sere wind and heat is here.  The slanting sunrays pick out the delicate design of a cast iron decoration on a neighbor’s house and the tall, white branches of a birch, waiting patiently for its leaves to reappear.

22nd Small Stone: Thinking Like Water

As I back the car down the driveway, the sun shines on five big raindrops at the top of my windshield.  The lower half of each one has blinding radiance.  Should the water in the top half of each raindrop be jealous?  

Bonus 8th #smallstone: Sunset Palms

Hi river of stones readers/writers,
I could not resist capturing one more small stone as my husband and I drove through the sunset tonight.
cheers, Laura

Clear yellow sky with a band of mauve clouds, then a band of dark purple ones.  Compact tops of three tall palms reach up to touch the mauve layer, black silhouettes of fans against the bright sky.
