The Sky's the Limit

Ah, it has been so long since I last posted! Since arriving back from visiting my family, my time has been pretty much consumed by work, clay classes and various other things that need my attention... not much time/energy left for blogging. But driving home from class tonight I caught sight of this huge Lenticular Cloud formation over the Mountains of Santa Fe, and I wanted to share it :). I didn't have my camera with me, but was hoping this formation would stick around long enough for me to get home to get it & luckily it did, though let me tell you, these pictures do not do justice the scene as I observed it.  This series was taken in a range of 25 minutes or so~ from blue skies, to sunset glow, to dusk. I so appreciate the beauty of nature.

Somewhere, Over the Rainbow...

Rainbows can be fleeting... they are there for a moment, and then gone. Not so with this one... it was one of the most beautiful & long lasting rainbows I've seen (and a double one, at that!) I had just gotten off work, and was getting ready to have dinner with a friend when the thunderstorm rolled in, bringing with it the most amazing skies...

I am always in awe of such natural beauty... and  I was so excited to capture it, I didn't notice the raindrops on my lens until many photos later! (Click to enlarge.) It's long lasting nature allowed my friend & I to capture it from many angles around town.

Near the plaza above... and St Francis Cathedral below~

I shall never tire of such natural beauty!

Ocean Beach Sunset

Hello my bloggy friends! I've been quite busy, but have been having an enjoyable time catching up with friends & family. I met a friend of mine for fish tacos at the beach yesterday & was lucky I had thrown my camera in the car... the sunset was amazing! I lived in Ocean Beach, Ca for about 6 years in my twenties... a great place to live during that time of my life, and I try to get down there at least once when I'm in town. It was nice to see the ocean again & stick my toes in the sand... not to mention the wonderful show put on by mother nature!

 I hope you're all doing well, & I'm off to catch up on your blogs!
