Blue cloudless skies, big clear nights

Living in the desert we get these beautiful clear days without a cloud anywhere to be seen.  The sky is a big blue expanse of medium royal blue.  To be able to fly on these days is a joy to the soul.  You become part of the endlessness.   
Then of course we have dark clear night after such wonderful days.  With the night sky so big and the stars looking like you could reach out and touch them. 
We do our fair amount of flying at night, especially locally.  In the winter when the sun sets so early, a return trip from having dinner at one of our favorite restaurants is usually at night.  This is when the ground looks like the Peter Pan ride at Disneyland with all the lights from the freeways and houses sparkling up at us.  

Yes, second star on the right and straight through till morning.
