31 days of clouds :: day 31

We often praise the evening clouds,

And tints so gay and bold,

But seldom think upon our God,

Who tinged these clouds with gold.

~Walter Scott

Whew! I cannot believe that this project (and the month of October) is over. It feels like it all just started. I am very surprised that I made it through to the end. October was not a cloudy month at all.  Probably about 75% of the month was cloudless. Maybe that is why I like clouds so much, I never really get to see them.

The above photo is totally unedited. Isn't that sky amazing? It was so beautiful. I don't remember ever seeing such a gorgeous sky.

but to add color to my sunset sky."

Sunset skies.

Arizona sunsets (with clouds, of course) are the best! Don't you agree?

Clouds help to make the most awesome of sunsets. Especially in Arizona.

Give yourself the freedom to soar high above the clouds.

When clouds appear like rocks and towers, the earth's refreshed by frequent showers.

31 days of clouds :: day 18

Out of all of my cloud photos, I have to say that this photo is one of my favorites. I took it during my summer of jury duty from 16-floors up.

The clouds looked awesome and the actual storm that hit (exactly at the same time I was driving home) was even more so. So many downed trees, so many roads closed, so many cars on the road. Rush hour is definitely not a good time for a storm.

“You must not blame me if I do talk to the clouds.”

~ Henry David Thoreau

31 days of clouds :: day 15

I hope the clouds will come back tomorrow. They were supposed to come back today. It's been 8 straight days with no clouds. Just lots of big blue sky. If it weren't for this project I probably would forget what a cloud looked like.

Cloudy reflection

With the way the clouds are, it kind of makes the building look as though it were see through.
I love that.
