The Summer Sky…

I keep taking pictures of the sky and its changing scenery. I don’t need to go anywhere to travel its corridors of beauty and drama though as the summer ends, I will be on the road more often, and the sky will more often turn gray and the drama on the ground more compelling.

But on this last week of summer, this first weekend of September, I share the sky and its vistas, the sun rising and setting, and hope the perspective inspires days ahead.

    These are gorgeous photos, Joanne. The beautiful skies also paint the waters below with their hues and moods, treading over magical depths and vistas that the eye cannot see. Thanks so much for sharing.

      Thank you, Vjollca. Yes, the water too has its vistas, always changing as it reflects the sky.

          Thank you, Azar. I know we all seek, appreciate and are restored by beauty, especially in nature.

    There’s something about the striated, stippled, or serene sky that hits below the belt. It can be the very definition of beauty, immune from adequate description, susceptible only to raw appreciation. Maybe it’s because we’re from here. You captured some great examples. Thank you.

      Thank you, Pat. I know the wide Texas sky has its own distinct beauty.

    The world is full of beauty, but it was the wide-open-to-the-sky quality of this place that drew me here, and your images are stunning. Thank you!

    We are fortunate to share the beauty of sky and water and good friends.

    Yes, the light moves every day, illumining earth and sky with different shades and shadows each day.

    These are truly gorgeous Joanne. I have been noticing our lovely pinker sunsets this past week and photographed one! But this series is lovely. Where is this?

  12. Hilary on September 4, 2022 at 10:32 pm

    The white chairs just call one to come savor the spectacle!

    • Joanne on September 6, 2022 at 12:47 am

      Thank you, Hillary. I love those chairs too, sturdy, waiting, enduring all weather and comfortable.
