Favorite Places: The Open Sky

grand-tetons-barn-2wtmkFavorite Places is my weekly feature in which I share the various places we visit. Have you noticed that during cold weather, people tend to walk with their heads down.  Summer time is when we tend to look up at the sky more often. This week let’s look up. Let me show you some of my sky picture. Not too much talking. Just enjoy the beauty of the sky.

CactusSkyCan you believe that blue? That is an untouched photo of sky in Arizona.

What’s the sky like where you are? Go outside and — look up.

Join me next Sunday for more Favorite Places.

  • Yes, I can believe that blue. It’s one of the major reasons why I live in Arizona. :) Love this series of photos!

  • Well, right now we are hazy – hot- and humid in Kansas so the sky is not too beautiful. I enjoy the midwest skies during the early fall, with the crisp clean air, and the bright blue sky as a backdrop to the changing colors of the leaves on the trees.

    LOVED looking at your photos!

  • I don’t know how you get such good pictures of the sky! My pictures are always washed out. I know it’s not the camera so there’s only one other possible culprit – sigh – me. They’re lovely pictures. We’re looking now at some fun spooky tornado-looking skies in Madison, Wisconsin. Believe it or not it’s a nice change from the always perfect blue you captured so well in Arizona!!!

    Great collection of photos! I love looking up at the perfect view of the sky above, perhaps it’s all the Dante I’ve read… If you’ve ever watched the Simpsons you’ll know a bit of what Oregon skies (on a good day) can look like– beautifully blue with white puffy clouds, on the other hand, winter skies in Oregon can be grey, grey, grey!

  • Awesome sky shots!! I remember that blue AZ sky!

  • Wow! Beautiful sky. The Colorado sky was gorgeous, but I don’t think it beat that last one of Arizona!
