Clouds

Clouds fascinate me. This is an ever changing display. 

I know that these are not the most recent photos, but they were all captured this spring. 


In this first shot, you can still see some snow on the ground, which by now is mostly gone. But it was that sky that caught my attention.


On a recent drive down a country road, this scene was enough to make me stop and capture the moment.




Yes, another lonely country road and a sky filled with clouds. The clouds may have that stormy look, but even that has beauty written all over it.



This is in a neighbouring community. I am guessing that this area was prone to flooding, so they installed these culverts to make sure there was enough room for water to run through, instead of flooding the roadway.



Those dark clouds look menacing, but take note that the sun is shining brightly behind the clouds.


Something to Think About:

When life is getting you down, and you can’t see a way through.

Remember behind the darkest clouds there awaits a sky of blue.
