Summer's Siesta - July 3, 2000 The red veil falls over the golden sun as the blue sky takes on a deep magenta hue. Against the brilliant dusk, I watch as the flocks of birds begin their yearly flight in search of warmer climes. Already, I am reminded by the cooling evening breeze that the short summer is nearing end and I too, must prepare for the return to a stasis pattern as all of nature's life begins to fade. - title suggested by TC
