Because I posted photos yesterday that were taken in Utah after a rainfall, I thought to include shots of the rich blue skies that greeted us on our drive toward Monument Valley, before the rain began.

It was spectacular to ride through this endless, wide valley and watch that big sky fill with clouds that soon tossed long, dark shadows across the golden fields.
.
I could not take my eyes off the clouds...the sky-lover in me had found heaven, and wanted to record every mercurial shift and shadow that magically transformed this incredible landscape.

.
The clouds grew thicker by the minute and I kept shooting, each new frame etching ever deper into my soul the complete joy I found in this beautiful piece of the world...

When I was small I used to stretch out on the grass and look up at the clouds. I saw endless possibilities in the transforming sky. Like you, Lynette, I am fascinated by cloud-filled skies. The bright blue backgrounds in your photos are a perfect canvas as the clouds roll by.
