Loving These Autumn Skies...

 Over the past couple of days, we've had a front-row seat to some of the most beautiful skies. Even tonight when I took out the dog, the southern skies were incredible. 

I count myself very lucky.

I've captured sunrises that fill the sky, and sunset as well. Plus, one day the clouds in the west looked like they were found in the opening credits of The Simpsons, or, like the clouds from Toy Story.

Another time I captured a huge cloud to the north, enormous while puffiness filling the northern horizon. I couldn't help but snap a picture.

I've stated it many times, one of the things I knew I would miss about our little house on the hill where we used to live were the incredible sunsets we saw almost every night. Our vantage point allowed us to see sunsets over Antelope Island and Farmington Bay (back when it held water...). I have been overwhelmingly surprised at the views we get from where we now live. The entire sky--in each direction--opens up and fills the space. It's wonderful.

I know me. I know that I will continue taking photographs of skies that blow me away. And because I know me, I know I'm going to continue to share many of them with all of you.

Just like today.

Oh...The Skies

Maybe it's because for several months this summer, you could barely see blue sky due to the smoke from western fires. Maybe it's because we're having a wet autumn, but most likely, the reason views from the dusk skies above our home last week took my breath away is because they were simply beautiful.

I get a chance to see the outside world as I sit in my office chair and work my shifts. But, when the clock chimes the end of the work day, I sometimes wander outside and see the world God created. The last couple of weeks, what has greeted me as I leave the house has been spectacular.

It's only our second autumn in this new land. A year ago we were spending our "free" time organizing the house and getting things settled. Now, things are put away and we have the opportunity to enjoy our surroundings. Since we're new I don't know if the same incredible skies will befall us next fall or the autumn after that. I sure hope so.

I will never tire of seeing such things.
