Autumn arrives (3 September 2026)

The signs of autumn have been piling up for weeks, and now we've had a day with proper rain.  It's here! 

Atmospheric Tuesday

The air is so packed with pollution and moisture, you can almost grab it…

Apricot Cotton Candy Cloud Morning

I'm posting slightly out of order because my photos aren't syncing correctly... but I liked this sky in the single digits of January days.

New Year Morning Skies (2 January 2026)

The year is off to a lovely start! 

Spongesky (19 December 2025)

The clouds didn't finish baking by the time this photo was taken, clearly. 

Three Skies of the Eighteenth (18 December 2025)

Some evenings I risk missing my transit connections, because... the sky. 

Three Skies of the Fifteenth (15 December 2025)

People get excited about the sunset, but the sky AFTER sunset is the part that interests me most.  This one entranced me. 

Gold (18 November 2025)

I am always open to a golden sunset with a line of clouds.  ALWAYS. 

Spectacular Stormy Sunset (13 November 2025)

People are difficult, the U.S. is in a terrible situation, but the planet still dishes out profound beauty on a vast scale. 

Late Halloween-flavored sky (4 November 2025)

I love the colors in the sky this time of year, even though I struggle to render them convincingly in oil pastel... 

Rays through the Clouds (22 October 2025)

A little drama is nice.  No, I mean in landscapes -  I could use less of it otherwise! 

Puffy Clouds (14 - 15 October 2025)

 We've had some storms, and the clouds that came with them have been impressive.

Sky (4 March 2025)

Clouds: I can't get enough of them, when they are distributed in interesting ways... 

SF Beneath Clouds

Little did I know when taking this photo, after discussing a bike trip down the California coast with a commute pal, featuring a long aside about historic tsunamis up in Crescent City, that we would be under a tsumani alert ourselves...  The danger passed, it was all fine (and we are on an inland bay), but it still felt quite EVENTFUL.

Glowing morning

Oh, how I love this time of year... 

Reflections (during a heat wave)

Such a pretty morning.  Such decorative clouds.  You know how I am about clouds.

 

Golden mornings behind the clouds (27 Jan)

Yellow and gray often go together in products, and I sometimes have my doubts - but it definitely works well in nature.

Sunset In the Clouds (4 January)

My phone is full of sunsets, and that isn't a bad thing at all. 

Rays of Light (12 December 2023)

 

Stormy Wednesday Sunset (25 Oct)

 I'm sure you're tired of me saying so, but clouds make skies BETTER!
