Transient skies of summer, Part III

Walking home on Friday, I spotted some incredible clouds stretching across the sky. It’s pretty flat where I live — god, I miss the mountains! — which makes the sky all the more fascinating. By the time I got home, took some shots in the back yard, and decided it was still worth it to capture the sky from where I’d been walking, the clouds had drifted over quite a bit. They were overhead before, which made it all the more majestic. Anyway, here’s what I got…

On the way back, I saw some more interesting, wispy clouds and stopped to take a photo. I figured I should probably stand in the shade, so in the shadow of “my” house, I looked up to the left of my target and saw something amazing! I guess if I’d tried I might have seen a halo, but oh well.

Stepping back for a sunlit shot, blindly!
