August 19th - Blasting for Uranium?
This explosion was a cloud although it looked a lot like smoke... It was amazing to watch it "bloom" over the course of about 10 minutes.

August 15th - Big Big Sky
Of all the sky photos I have taken over the last year, I have always come away thinking there was no way to show the total awesome grandeur that is the big picture. This photo is an attempt at that - it is actually 4 photos combined together to create this huge cloudscape.

August 3rd - Last One!!!
For my 365th blog post I thought it would be appropriate to leave this blank sky canvas as an invitation for all you cloud-lovers out there. Pick up your camera, and pick up the ball! Keep your eye on the sky - God is reflected there!

August 1st - Turmoil in the sky!
It's hard to tell if you're being lifted up into a whirlwind, or circling down the drain when looking at this intense summer storm cloud!

July 26th - Afloat on a Sea of Glow
Okay so it sounds hokey, but the light from this sunset was so rich it seemed possible that these cloud puffs were actually floating in it!

July 15th - Avalanche!
The way these secondary clouds flow over the top of this thunderhead reminded me of the way powder might rise from a thundering avalanche.

July 10th - Sesame Street Reverie
Mr. Snuffleupagus: Hello, Bird.
Big Bird: Snuffy? I thought I'd never see you again! I can hardly see you now.
Mr. Snuffleupagus: That is because you are imagining me, Bird.

July 5th - On the Road Again
We left a rainy Florida this morning and arrived at the Outer Banks in North Carolina in time for a beautiful sunset by the beach, and a wonderful dinner with family and friends - how good is that?

July 3rd - Needle in a Cloud Stack
I was intrigued by the way this altocumulus needle seemed to thread it's way through this cumulus cloud.

July 1st - Hagrid's Favorite
The Hippogriff is a fierce beast part horse and part eagle. It is not as well-known in modern fairy tales as the dragon or the unicorn, yet many writers have been fascinated by this unusual creature. It adds another “winged” creature to the mythical zoo of the Harry Potter books.

All I could think about was how soft this sky looked - like an angora baby blanket in classic pink and blue...

The misty light filtering across the foreground of this amazing cloudscape is the stuff Hudson River Valley Painters would die for...

June 23rd - Ren or Stimpy?
I was reminded of a familiar cartoon character, but when I wanted to find out if it was Ren or Stimpy I found I wasn't the only one who was confused about this critical information. Turns out it's the angry, insane chihuahua named Ren Höek - his brain-dead "eediot" sidekick cat, is Stimpy. And that's as much as I want to know about it...
