This sky can represent so much of our lives over the past three weeks.
I took this shot yesterday (Sunday) at the request of Becky, eldest daughter of my brother Robert and his wife Debbie. We were at my Mom's house when I heard, "Uncle Mark, you have to take a picture of these clouds", so of course I did and I felt it was the most appropriate shot for me to share for a blue Monday.
Becky, and her two sisters, Amanda and Jessica have been so incredible throughout these challenging times for our family and we all so proud of them.

The violent storms that lashed the east coast of Australia were still rumbling out to sea when the gentle ribbons of sunset filled the western sky promising a calm night and better tomorrow.

'...But where was the top-left or right? Stopping at every step, leaning on our axes, we tried to recover our breaths and to calm down our hearts, which were thumping as though they would burst. We knew we were there now, and that no difficulty could stop us. No need to exchange looks-each of us would have read the same determination in the other's eyes. A slight detour to the left, a few more steps-the summit ridge gradually came nearer-a few rocks to avoid. We dragged ourselves up. Could we possibly be there?
Yes!
A fierce and savage wind tore at us.
We were on top of Annapurna!'

LOW CLOUDS
Drove my niece to work on the northern end of Las Vegas Blvd. and notice the colors being reflected on the low lying clouds. This was about an hour before sunrise so all the colors are from the buildings below it.
Another shot from this past summer. Cool clouds over a small prairie town.
