It's the official first day of summer, so Happy Summer! I've kept spring in the title for this one, since it still feels like spring here.

These are glorious days of rolling clouds and passing shadows. While I walked in tall new grass, the sunlight suddenly winked out. Glancing up from the shadowed field, I was startled by a gleaming white cloud against that intense blue. What a beautiful world.
