Fight to the Finish

The day started with a sky that made me think of a watercolor painted by an angry artist.

Clouds were layered one over another, abstract shapes of differing shades looking like they had been created by a heavy brush beaten against a canvas. The kind of random smattering that might have been created by an ill tempered child or a disillusioned professional.

As the morning wore on glimmers of sun peeked through here and there, throwing streaks and dashes of rainbow color into the gray - hope glimpsed briefly before being overwhelmed and obliterated by the angry swirls and splatters.

In the end hope and promise won out with a sunset built of bands of glowing pastels.
