This morning was crisp & clear.
Not a cloud in the sky. Not a very colorful sunrise. Sure it was orange.. but…

Good thing the roads & trails were even more splashed with color! Apparently there was another one of those darn “color runs” yesterday. I blame the “Amazing Race” TV show. A couple seasons ago they sent the contestants to India where they participated in the Holi Festival – India’s Festival of Colors. Holi celebrates the victory of good over evil, and commemorates the burning of the demoness Holika. The festival also signifies the end of Winter and hopes for the upcoming spring harvest. The summer after the Indian festival was show on TV, these crazy “color runs” started popping up everywhere. Again… I “blame” the “Amazing Race.” And yet I love it… so thank you!!!

And today we’re left with some powdered residue, tie-dyed pavements and some trees that have changed color prematurely. All we need now is a good rain to wash it all away!
