May 29th - Tranquility among the Turmoil
The sky was black and turbulent as a thunderstorm approached - but when I looked up this heron soared across the sky in a perfectly straight line seeming not to notice the weather around him...

May 25th - Dodger Colors in Bloom
I love watching these massive cumulonimbus clouds "bloom" right before my eyes - and the venticular "cap clouds" make the sight even more dramatic....

Landing in Orlando on our flight from San Diego, we came through one cloud layer and looked down on another - it felt like being the filling in a cloud cookie!

May 7th - Cloud of a Different Color
So we were in Los Angeles today to visit the Getty Center - what a wonderful place! The views were incredible, and the sky seemed to be blue...but from a distance you could see a low-lying cloud over the city...

May 1st - Children's Moon
My daughter told me that when the moon was out during the day it was called the "children's moon" because that's the only time the children ever saw it. I really love that phrase - there's something very charming about it! I took this photo just as the sun was coming up this morning.
