Wondrous Sky's Over The Texas Hill Country


I live at the edge of the beautiful Texas Hill Country "they" say once used to be an ocean. I have to believe it was  because I have found rocks out there with little fish fossils and petrified shells embedded in them. In the early spring when the cold fronts from the North keep clashing with the warm Gulf fronts from the South it produces spectacular colors in the sky from our deck. They only last briefly when the sun is in just the right position and I sometimes run to get my camera so I can keep the fantastic view to enjoy later. Below are the reasons why I keep pointing the lens  to the hills...sometimes in early morning...sometimes in late evening.


This sky I took on a very windy day when the clouds in a brilliant sunny blue sky were whipped into looking like little popcorn clouds. I still like to look for images in the clouds and I found a number of whimsical "faces" in this shot when I set it as my desktop image. That is where I keep the memorys of the beauty of my own personal ever changing colorful sky. Never are two exactly alike and I love that unique aspect.

Great photographs, Anna, of an ever changing sky. I think we should take more minutes out of our day to look at the clouds because they can be so spectacular. And you're right, there are faces there!

Those skies are truly wondrous Anna. Can I move into your place in Texas? I promise not to be any trouble.

Sure...come on down Jon...we always have an extra lounge chair on the deck and a "special" fridge stocked with everyone's favorite beer...and our big sky's are amazing to ponder.
