Beauty

It has been sooooo beautiful driving down through southern California, it's so mind-boggling to think such beauty can exist along with side-by-side such cruelty we are inflicting on human beings so much less fortunate than ourselves.

The poppies are gracing the sides and tops of the mountain like a brilliant shawl gracing an Amazon womon's shoulders.

And the lush green brighter than most winters has tumbled before my drive on both sides of the freeway, despite elevation or normal golden brown starting this time of year.
