Simple Ways to Nourish Yourself with Nature's Magic

Oh...how I love the ever-changing cloudscape. On days when there is "active weather" the sky is at its most entertaining. If I am out and about, I am sure to have my camera with me. Yes, that's me hanging out the window of my car (if I am not the driver) taking photos of the sky. Or I am the weirdo pulled over to the side of the road, standing with lens towards the heavens.

This cloud chasing habit of mine has infected the whole family and some good friends as well. Just yesterday I had a call from my hubby who was taking a break from work to tell me to go and look at the sunset. It was exquisite. I have photos from all over the world, provided for me by traveling friends and family who have caught the cloud chasing spirit.

Everyone around me knows that cloudscapes come in 2 forms: Paintable and not-paintable. Last evening's sunset while thoroughly enjoyable, was not-paintable. I love the sunset, but I almost never paint them. My attempts at capturing them tend to look corny...nuff said. Then there are the truly epic skies (think Moses parting the waters with rays of light from above) that are impressive, but again, not-paintable.

Fortunately there are many more instances of spectacular shapes, atmospheric volume and oh-so wonderful subtle color shifts. Now that, I can sink my teeth into!

May your days be filled with joy from the sky,

Cheers,

Laura
