See any clouds? Nope? Can't say I didn't try . . .
First thing I did yesterday morning was check out the skies. See, that's what determends which direction I head with camera gear in tow. Early yesterday morning, nada. Not so much as a puff. So I scrubbed any plans of going out shooting. Then about ten a.m. I saw clouds! To the north! So I tossed the gear in the car, and headed up I25.
And man, where those clouds getting good! They kept building and building . . .
They start thinning out, though on the backside of the Sangre de Christos, but hey! They were moving east, and I figured by the time I reached Wagon Mound, I should have some pretty good cloudage going.
Well, not exactly. I saw them peeking over the western horizon, but with the wind gusting up to 50 mph, they were just torn to pieces before they could move my way. By the time I started heading back--taking backroads into Las Vegas--I didn't even have contrails :(
Now the way Murphy's Law seems to work, there will be gorgeous clouds for the next three Saturdays, because I have to work those days :P
Anyway, the cemetery gates in Golondrinas, New Mexico.
Really would've liked to have had a cloud or two . . .
Some mornings you just have to.... no matter what! Not even dressed yet, out driving like I'm crazy, still in my flannels just to capture this? I must be nuts!

The butterfly bushes in the back yard are blooming and are a magnet for butterflies. This is a male Clouded Sulphur. Larval plants are clover, alfalfa and other legumes.
