Photos again

 I noticed that I had lots of pix that didn't seem to fit into my particular blogging posts, so here is a grouping of things that I like that have no category exactly.  I feel like there are more, but I haven't laid my eyes on them, yet....  I will continue searching!

I have found a new obsession with an app on my iPhone called instagram.  It is sort of a social network for photographers and casual picture takers alike.  It is a lot of fun to participate in and takes so little time to do it!  Some of these pix are from my Instagram interactions.


just look up
Loves me





Power lines- if you can't beat them, photograph them!

Until next time, be a joy giver!  And love the summer you are in!

Cloud adventures

Yesterday was quite the cloudy day!!

It proved to be full of interesting cloud formations and we went through a lot of temperature changes, which probably accounts for the amazing sky displays.

The day started cool and sunny, warmed up a bit, changed to cloudy, turned into a freakishly weird cloud pattern, turned cool again, turned sunny, became HOT and HUMID, became less hot and humid, had huge thunderheads develop for me to observe, and then cooled off and a front came through with rain. Whew!  3 seasons in one day.  Well, it was a fabulous day for picture taking- I was so excited to wake up this morning so I could finish editing pictures and post this all in one spot.

The joys of having a smart phone is that you can send pictures to your favorite weather guy (Hi Justin!!), post pix on FaceBook, text a cool photo to a few friends (you 3 know who you are!) and then add some things to Instagram all from the comfort of the middle of the hay field!  Lol.  PLUS I had 2 other cameras with me to record the moments.  And yes, sometimes, I just sat and watched without a camera perched in front of my nose, so there!!!

So, sit back and enjoy the cloud bounty- the embarrassment of cloud riches- from yesterday.....


First, the Van Gogh Skies-









Next, the growing thunderheads ......








Next the storm coming from the other side.....



Two views of the incoming storm from the north....





And then the rains....


It takes a while to download and edit pix from three different cameras!!  :)

I hope you enjoyed the show, I wish you all could have been here to see it with me.  And enjoy the 30 degree drop in temperature in the afternoon.  That was quite spectacular as well!!

So many ways to record some joy!


Until next time be a joy giver!!!

One MORE Pix- well, two....

Oh my gosh!  You won't believe what I have seen since I posted a couple hours ago.  A storm went through- cooled everything off considerably- yay!!  

First had gorgeous, angry grey clouds....  LOVE those.


Grey clouds


THEN, right at sunset this happened.  It was spooky and eerie, the whole landscape was pinkish orange, the driveway was pink.  I did not do anything to this photo except crop it and took a little of the red OUT, since it looked so FAKE!  I have never seen anything quite like this.

Reddish orange clouds!
Joy can pop up in many unexpected ways!
