This morning, the sky was afire!
The brilliant red background and the golden clouds again strengthen my love of nature. It was a magnificent sight after such a stormy weekend. However, we all know that expression "Red skies at night is a sailor's delight. Red sky in morning, sailors take warning" and that was certainly the case later in the day.
However that morning, as I walked down the hill to the bus stop, the sea was a mauve-violet colour, the majestic Olympic mountains a light blue shade, and there was a band of golden and blue sky speckled with little clouds. Above that, the violet overcast that was beginning to take over was being reflected back from the water.
Nature is an amazing thing when it can create such colour diversity.
Speaking of nature, I went to an exhibit at the museum entitled Fatal Attraction that was about mating habits of animals in nature. It was amusing however, it was a little on the watered-down side because it was a family exhibit. But it got me wondering. Why is it that, in the animal world, it is the male's responsibility to attract the female yet it appears to be the opposite in the human world? The male animal is more colourful and much more active in the whole attraction game yet in human society, it is the woman who forks out all of the money buying cosmetics, shoes and clothing to attract the man. It perplexes me.
Speaking of clothing and beauty, I watched the film Marie Antoinette over the weekend. I am guessing that it wasn't entirely historically correct but the costumes were amazing. I enjoyed it despite the obvious things like lacking in proper accents and such. It painted a slightly different picture of the stories we all have heard.
As well, I saw the film Babel. It wasn't quite as I expected but definitely it was about communication - or lack of it - along with the message that "Guns are bad" - as my companion so aptly put it. Check it out but definitely you might want to make sure the kids are old enough to handle the sexual situations.
Anyway, it's back to nature for me. I hope that you had a great weekend!
