Clouds Seem To Speak To Me........

Clouds seem to speak to me. I'm sure that you have perhaps had similar experiences. When you live in a rural area as we do in Northern California and there are broad expanses of sky visible almost everywhere you are bound to see some dramatic things happening in the Heavens. I carry one or two cameras with me while driving, just in case I see something that warrants my pulling over and taking a shot.

Looking Up

It's amazing what we miss by simply not looking up. We get caught up in our everyday mundane activities and just forget about observing. This is a sky view in front of our home in Cottonwood, CA.

A Good Photo Spot.....

We have a large grass field at the end of a private airport near our house, and I've been able to get quite a few sky shots here.

Down Near Highway Five

This is one of the better vistas and I've taken a lot of shots here....as you are approaching highway five.

Angels Over Cottonwood

Across The Field (Echo)

Splash

I love the way this cloud splashes against the landscape.....gorgeous!

My Photo Equipment......

I've been shooting Digital for a number of years now, ever since my first Casio digital camera (3.2 pixels). I've had several since then and my favorite so far is a Sony DSC F828 with a Carl Zeis 7X Optical zoom lense on it. Although it is only 8 megapixels, it seems to be adequate to capture as large an image as I need. I also have a small Kodak 10 mpixel camera that I carry with me and I like it's picture quality, but prefer the Sony's color.

A Different Mood...............

There's a Little Storm Happening........

Storm Passing Over the Top

I am amazed by the beauty that happens in the sky on dark, gloomy days. Sometimes you have to hunt for it and at other times it hit's you in the face......

Distant Storm

My Favorite Shot......:)

Let's face it, we all have our favorites (excuse me while I pat my back). I'm not sure why but his one just happens to be mine.

Just Cotton Candy.......

Anderson Sunset

Igo Sunset

This one was taken in Igo, California, without a tripod.......

UFO Clouds

I think I counted five UFO Clouds in this one.....

A Wild and Crazy Sky........

Highway Five Storm Clouds.....

Cloud Meets Tescoflex

There's something about the delicacy and beauty of nature colliding with a man-made object.......

Sunset Over Rice Paddies

Was traveling between Grass Valley and Chico when we saw this amazing sunset behind the power lines and rice paddies.

Right Around The Corner

We always see a few deer in this vacant area near our home.

Standing in The Street and Looking Up........this could be dangerous :)

    Beautiful photos!!! Like you, I´d never get tired of looking at clouds and taking pictures of them (well.... sometimes I take good photos, but most of times just boring ones!!!)
    Since when I moved to Denmark, I was even more fascinated by clouds, because they can move so quickly and change so fastly, there....
