Look to the Sky

My husband and I picked our grandkids up from camp last week in my husbands car. His car is not as kid friendly as mine, which means no DVD players for the kids to watch movies. So, we played the game, "What shapes do you see in the clouds?". Luckily there were actually clouds in the sky that day. I shared with the kids that when I was a kid I loved laying in the grass in Ohio and play that game. Clouds can look beautiful and scary, and sometimes both at the same time.

 I was looking back at my iCloud pictures (no pun intended) and noticed all the cool cloud and sky pictures we have taken over the years. I thought I would share some in this post. Most are of the Texas sky, but I do have some from the air and from states across the country.

We have pictures from Sunrise to Sunset, cloudy and clear, even some with rainbows and balloons. It is always nice to just sit back and look at the sky and marvel in its beauty.

A sunrise outside of our hotel room in Fort Worth the morning after an awesome Paul McCartney concert.

A sunrise from our hotel balcony in St Augustine, Fl.

A storm coming in while we were visiting  our son in Arizona.

Texas storm clouds in our neighborhood.

More Texas storm clouds in our neighborhood.

Yes, more Texas storm clouds in our neighborhood.

Storm rolling in at Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

Yep, more Texas storm clouds in our neighborhood.

A beautiful Texas blue sky, no clouds to be found.

A common site around our house, hot air balloons in a blue sky.

This balloon is literally at my front door.

A beautiful full moon in a cloudless sky.

Beautiful Florida Clouds.

Afternoon Texas Rainbow. There is not a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
 Looks more like a porta pot to me.

We were flying above a storm in Ohio.

More Ohio clouds from the air.

Cool clouds on my drive in our neighborhood.

This was a very cloudy day in Pensacola, Fl where we saw the Blue Angels practice. Because it was so cloudy they flew very low and put on a great show with a beautiful cloud backdrop.

Love the clouds at Sunset.

We love to go out on the golfcart in the evenings and take sunset pictures.

This was not our normal red sunset. Love the yellow.

All beach sunsets are beautiful.

Love the color in the clouds.

Cool color and clouds in this neighborhood sunset.

The clouds on the bottom almost look like mountains.

I took these from my backyard and they are my favorites. The top clouds in this picture looks like smoke.

The red in this picture is striking like the clouds are on fire.

How can you not be amazed by the beauty?

I hope you found this post calming and relaxing. Mostly I hope it reminds you to stop every now and then, look to the sky and enjoy its wonderment.
