Serendipity

What do you see??? Even as a child, the sky has always been mysteriously beautiful to me. I can't remember there ever being a time that I wasn't looking up...watching the sky, the clouds and even storms rolling in.  What follows, is a journey through the last week of such sky-watching. 5/10/2012 The photo above was taken on a gray day, but the clouds did not bring the much needed rain. sunset 5/15 I love when I can capture the rays coming off the clouds like this one.
