I got inspired by Debi Boucher's recent post on the virga clouds (Active Rain PhotoBlogger Group - Virga) and decided to share some of my recent photos of the clouds in the sky here in Big Sky country (nickname for Montana).
The first painting was photographed in the morning of October 15, 2009. The little patches of white here and there in the clouds complement the white on the ground. The finishing touch was the orange glow seen in the middle and bottom of this painting.
The second painting was photographed in the morning of October 24, 2009. With the accent on the orange color, I think it was Mother's Nature way to remind us that Halloween was only one week away!
The third painting was photographed in the morning of October 26, 2009. It looks like Mother Nature drew a laurel's wreath right above the mountain.
And the last one of this series of 4 paintings was photographed around noon on the same day as the previous painting (October 26). I thought this was an interesting group of clouds and Mother Nature made sure that they stood out by stroking them in white and with a big brush!
Mother Nature always amazes me with her paintings of the sky here in Red Lodge as well as everywhere else int he world. Not only she gets up early and likes to surprise us with her amazing paintings in the morning but she also creates amazing masterpieces all day and especially at night so that we can end our day on a good note (you will know what I mean by visiting my following posts: Moon Over Red Lodge - Painting by Mother Nature and Friday Foto - Red Lodge By Night). What can I say? She is a tireless woman and she makes our life so much better thanks not only to her beautiful paintings in the sky but also all her wonderful creations on Earth.
I hope you enjoyed this small sample of her sky paintings. Which one was your favorite painting out of this series of 4 paintings?
