The Deep Purple

 We went up on the hill this evening because it looked like there may be a pretty sunset. There wasn't, but there were still lovely sights. The sky turned a deep purple, with pink vapor trails.






Venus came out.

We passed the angels on the way home. It was twilight and their candles were lit.



β€œWhen the deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to flicker in the sky
Through the mist of a memory you wander back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh.”

TODD RUNDGREN, ROGER POWELL, KASIM SULTON, JOHN WILCOX

What a pretty purple sky. And the angels lit up are so special. You know, PUPRLE is my favorite color! It's mysterious and lovely and somewhat regal.
