There was a brief AskMarilyn in today's PARADE magazine asking "My daughter, who lives near Palm Springs, California, says her sky is bluer than my sky in Portland, Oregan. Can that be?" The answer is:
Yes: Sky color - or "sky transparency" - depends on many factors, among which is humidity. And you know that Portand is a teensy bit more humid than Palm Springs! Consider the brilliant blue sky of a cold, dry winter day compared to the whitish look of the sky on a muggy day in summer. Residents of Palm Springs enjoy a great many low-humidity, sunny days.
So, I suppose while the grass may not be greener on the other side, the sky may indeed be bluer in California compared to where you live. =)

I think the grass is greener in CA, too. Maybe because the atmosphere is so clear as opposed to hazy (from humidity), all colors appear sharper, stronger, clearer, etc. Also, the strong blue contrasts more sharply with other colors, making them appear more intense. ??? maybe, just a thought. love you.
