Blue Skies

Blue Skies

As I mentioned yesterday we woke to a nice rain shower and received about 3/4 of an inch. That’s pretty good for us. Around noon the sun popped out and the skies turned a beautiful shade of blue. With blue like that I had to head out east and find open space. The rain and wind sure cleared the sky so images were everywhere. It was a time to gave thanks for the rain. Now I have to wash the mud off the car. 🙂

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

        The blue expanse makes it for me. It reflects and balances out the lack of variety of the plain below it; the entire scene divided by the freeform clouds. As above so below kind of thing. Without the blue sky I dare say it would be a pretty picture but it would completely lose its dynamics. It would no longer speak of the quality of uniformity.

    I agree with the comment about the sky. Especially if your title is Blue Skies, why would you crop it out? 🙂

    We don’t have enough free space in our world. It’s often referred to as “negative space” but that’s not always accurate. Sometimes the whole point is to have open space, and I think this photo is a good example.

    I bird or contrail up there might have been cool, though…. 🙂

      Never thought about calling a bird or two but that would have added to it also, or even the moon. I also agree some of our use of language can twist the meaning. I like the use of free or open to negative.
