Strange Sky

Strange clouds today. I took this photo out by Lakewood.

Last Night's Sky

With the extreme heat we've had lately (this is our 19th day straight of 90+ degrees), and the brown haze that has settled over Denver (with the help of very little rain this month) - we had a great sunset last night. It looked like Downtown was on fire from my window:

Gabriel Liston's "Sky Patch" Series

These diminutive works are by the very talented and kind Portland-based artist Gabriel Liston. I recently received a beautiful little painted postcard from him. His works are fascinating- take a moment and check out his site. I especially love these little sky patches he has been working on recently. Gabriel shows at Denver's own Plus Gallery. He says of the "Sky Patches" that after they are prepared for oil paint, they "turned into whatever sky is passing by". In related news, you can also find Gabriel at the Cloud Appreciation Society. That sounds like a society I should be a part of...actually - shouldn't everyone?

Strange Clouds

I took these photos Monday or Tuesday.

the sky this evening

If you were in Denver area this evening, hopefully you were able to catch the beautiful cloud formations and the particularly dramatic mountain range. If not, here are a couple of shots I took - go ahead and change up your desktop background. It's time for a change.
