This photo was taken three years ago from the grounds of the Griffith Park Observatory on my favorite kinds of days, when there are myriad fluffy clouds in the bright blue sky.

I live near the ocean, and I'm physically about 30 miles away from the nearest fires, but the skies have been oppressive and dark, bordering on apocalyptic yellow and orange, not bright blue, and raining ash at times.

I'm praying that the fires will pass, and sooner than later. The country has burned enough. Hopefully these blue skies and wondrous clouds will return above California and the West.

St Marys Bay

Spreading clouds that originated with lenticular formation. Truly a picture perfect sky.

Exploring Xenon 50mm f1.8

As expected the charger for my camera made a surprise reappearance on the day after I‘d bought a new one. Anyway, I was able to take photos of my new home again and did a little tour around a bird sanctuary on Sunday where I took this shot. Unfortunately my computer is still in a box, and I can’t geotag my photos on my tablet; but honestly that doesn’t really matter anyway as the Flickr app tells me that supposedly I took all my geotagged photos in Arinacrinachd, Scotland. (I hope I got that right... does anyone know how to pronounce it? Just out of curiosity LOL)

Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect when I capture these restless looking clouds.

Some days everything lines up for one of these fun swirls and this was one of them. :)

really need cloud formations blanket the sky over Carson City this evening.

This is by far one of the most unusual Thunderheads I have seen and shot. The sunset backlighting absolutely enhanced it.

One of my more recent images captured at my local beach. I tend to spend more time there during the winter due to it being on the south coast. The Sun sets and rises out to sea, the weather is more interesting and there are far fewer people. This was the tail end of a summer storm, the coast always offering something to place under such a wonderful backdrop. I think I’d like to spend more time storm watching in the coast this winter.

Interesting clouds this morning.

Taken Southwest of High River. Maybe I’m looking up more, but it seems this summer almost everyday we are seeing fantastic skies in Southern Alberta.

High clouds dominated late day.
