this back road drive
past so many places
along the way
what is it in these hills
just beyond my reach

 

brook beside our house with Late afternoon sun sparkling .. parts of the creek are still frozen and the open water goes under ice in places but was running nicely this afternoon... 3-19-
clouds covered it but were just thin enough that you could look right at the disc of the sun which looked quite a bit like the moon...3-19-17

clouds
containing some
of the sun’s inferno

 

 

clouds caught up with an inferno of light from far away... Rt. 88-- 9-13-16
The hillside shouldering the inferno 9-13-14 - Rt. 88
A day that showed some fire before letting go... 9-13-14
clouds that showed some fire before letting go... 9-13-14
Clouds with some fire of sunset on Rt. 88 - 9-13-14-Changing spectacularly by the minute... Rt. 88 skyscape...
clouds afire on Rt. 88 from drive home from Albany earlier tonight...9-13-14
clouds coming down -I handed Casey the camera to take this photo a little further along on Rt. 88 9-13-14
