Clouds. I couldn't wait to put together this week's collection for Sunday Stills. I have always been fascinated by the clouds. And some days, it seems the sky just can't get any bluer or the clouds any fuller. It's hard to capture in a photo what the eyes are seeing.
Two of the photos were taken this week. The others were pulled from my archives just waiting to be shared!
We were up on the buttes at historic Ft. Robinson when we saw this storm move in. We came down quickly and started running our horses back to camp. The lightning was sharp, but we got back before the rains hit us.
Still on vacation at Ft. Robinson, this was the view from our picnic shelter after the storm moved through. I truly think I have never seen such beautiful colors in the sky.
This was taken on our vacation last year at Deerfield Lake in South Dakota. We had just watered our horses in the lake and continued along the edge toward our camp. The clouds almost looked animated.
Following some friends down the cow trail at Big Canyon this past June.
We were all outside in our yard this past week when these clouds above us started forming. The boys noticed it first and encouraged me to go get my camera. No rain or storms came out of it, but they were sure pretty to watch. Almost reminded me of the ocean.
We plan to horse camp again this weekend, so will schedule this to post on Sunday. I'll catch up with your collection of clouds later that day! I can't wait to see what you have to share!
you have lots of clouds where you are & of varying colours & shapes
ReplyDeletethese are wonderful :)
Amazing cloud moments!
ReplyDeleteAmazing cloud photos. Love the first photograph as well as the pink clouds.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are incredible for the scenery alone. Add in the clouds and it's just amazing.
ReplyDeletei always enjoy clouds at a higher elevation. These are so beautiful. love the pink and blue one!
ReplyDeleteI have a cloud fascination too. Love to watch the sky when storms are forming. As long as the clouds don't start spinning around in a circle that is. Great shots!!
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely great. All of them. But if I have to pick favorites it would be the shot with the lake and the last one. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteReally nice. Beautiful spots to ride!
ReplyDeleteI was fully prepared to state which ones were my faves, but then you posted a few more photos...and now I can't decide. I like them all. You see such gorgeous views and skies while out on the trails. No wonder you love trail riding so much. I bet you never forget to bring your camera along with you either.
