Living up on a mesa, I have a very big sky to admire. Its constant newness refreshes me; it’s almost as if I’m on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what’s on the sky menu each day. Summertime brings a dose of unpredictability with its unsettled weather patterns (i.e., monsoons) — and handsome clouds. Enjoy this one-minute-before-sunrise shot, taken from a moving car at 50 mph.
While you’re at it, ponder the metaphor. What clouds are on your horizon? Do they have a silver (or gold) lining? Can you find beauty in the midst of disappointment? Are you grateful, truly grateful, for cloudy episodes in your life? Comment if you’d like.

Taken from a moving car, if you can believe it.

Now, that is one FINE shot!
I do hope you realize you are in danger of never being able to return to anything remotely like a ‘normal’ life.

Oh. Dad. The danger is real, looming, and not a little disconcerting.

The most spectacular sky scene I think I have ever seen. You must find a photo contest for it. Maybe Conde Nast publications.

One of the best nature photos I’ve seen. To invent an expression, Wow!
Clouds – I’m rather partial to fog. It muffles excessive noise, sharpens some sounds, feels great on the skin, is terrific for hiking or other outdoor activities because it keeps you from overheating. You are actually in the cloud lining in fog. I will have to ponder the metaphor aspect of this.
