This morning was blanketed in by rain. It was raining too hard for me to hide under awnings to take images. I got in the car and headed toward Carmel hoping the rain would become manageable for me there. Instead it was pouring as I arrived in Carmel.
I heard Phil in my head telling me to head to Carmel Valley. Although it looked pretty gray that way, I figure I better follow what I heard.
Let me back up to yesterday when I was feeling very low and I asked Phil please give me some kind of a big sign, I wanted to know he was with me. This is something we had talked about to great extent before he passed away. We talked about the afterlife, messages and both of us comfort in that we would always be together. Whether it is just the way I need to handle my grief or I'm getting messages, what was about to happen blew me away and I feel lighter today. I feel that I'm surrounded by love whether it is God or Phil or perhaps both. I needed this morning.....
I head toward Carmel Valley and it is visibly raining in front of me. Phil and I had a couple of favorite spots in Carmel Valley, we had friends who lived there, Bob and Bonnie, I miss you. We also visited Earthbound farms, but there was a special area that we visited often before and after his diagnosis. A winery had had an old truck in front of it, were would park, walk, take pictures, go to the market and picnic. I headed with that destination in my mind.
As I drove I spotted a glimpse of some light ahead, I could see a sunrise peeking through the valley. I couldn't contain myself, I pulled over to the side of the road to take images of the sun, just in case it was my only glimpse. Right off the side of the hwy and in the rain I rush to take a photo.
When I turned around to get back in the car, I spotted a rainbow! I was excited but not in the ideal spot for image taking.
I got excited and worried that the sunrise and the rainbow were going to disappear. Back into the car and a bit further up the road, I can't help myself again! It is still raining and I had to fight to keep my lens clean, I stop and take another image or two.
Not pleased with the setting, I set back out for Carmel Valley, understanding it is only a few miles from Carmel. I head toward the area that is familiar to me and I park. Over the area that we spent so many blissful moments is the rainbow, beautiful lighting and the rain is manageable to take photos. I get out of the car, singing and taking images.
