The weather lends itself nicely to ‘layers’, doesn’t it? It’s built into the language – under a cloud, stormy relationship, etc. Though I must admit I hadn’t noticed the bared shoulder 🙂
Ah, leave it to Paloma to see that bared shoulder, LOL 😉
Thank goodness for the language of weather … and extra tool to work with 🙂
