Dusk clouds feeling poetic

The clouds were in a poetic mood this Sunday as the sun was setting.

These three birds literally got a "birds-eye view."

I don't know if that qualifies as a pun, but it was definitely intended.

Cotton puff clouds highlight Ole Glory's waves

I was watching the sky today as we moved around the city on chores.  This shot was while I was at Kinsel Ford dropping off a Red Cross vehicle which needed repairs.  I was struck by the contrast between the cotton puff clouds in the  background and in the foreground the American flag flapping actively in the breezes brought in by a cool front.

Bright, streaked sunset is followup to Hurricane Harvey

This was taken in Beaumont about three weeks after Hurricane Harvey came through Southeast Texas.  The unusual upward streaks were eye-catching.

Strong upper winds ripple cloudy sky.

A strong west to east jet stream pushed ripples into the clouds last week. I am tempted to call it "Cloud Rippled Sky." What do you think?

Planes plow holes in rippled sky

Dancing skies

Sitting on the back porch of my daughter's house, I noticed the dancing skies.

Cloud-spangled sky

Nighttime and daytime often just pass the torch with a slow shift of color. However, sometimes, like this night, daytime lingers a while longer and makes one last cloud-spangled splash across the sky.

This was the sunset by the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge the other night as I was driving to Beaumont, TX.  The sky was a giant maelstrom of sorts. It was very distracting.

A cloud's brief life in the heavens

Clouds climbing on top of each other push upward into the thinning sunlight at day's end.  Without the sun's help, the vapor hordes will lose their urge to soar and shape-shift into huge lawn sprinklers.

Rain through the clouds

Rain through the sun creates a heavenly vision.

In the still of the night

This shot was a cool, crisp December night last year.  Still, it had a lot in common with tonight. 
Calm, peaceful, still, expansive and unhurried.
The colors force your eyes upward.

Sunset, night

Sky symphony

A thunderstorm, a sunset, a refinery, powerlines and crepuscular light all play their part in this sky symphony.
