Summer Sky!

When was the last time you laid on the grass looking up at the clouds, just enjoying the moment?

Remember, when we would look for different shapes and pictures in the moving clouds?

"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky is hardly a waste of time" -John Lorbock


And then the monsoons arrive in the west!
An exhilarating experience!
These next pictures are taken in my yard looking up!
There was thunder and lightning and even a few BIG DROPs of rain.

  1. Nice. Greg and I watch the sunset colors alot. Living on the 2nd floor both here and in Salt Lake, we notice and see the sky all the time. It is very relaxing. I like monsoon's too.

  2. i strive to take way more opportunities to do things like just lie in the grass with a child or grandchild and look at the clouds, their shapes and all this beautiful earth has to offer.
    i could improve on this.
    i need to slow down.

  3. It is hard to find grass in Arizona that an old woman could lie on and gaze at the clouds. I probably would look funny doing this, but the thought is such a pleasant one. Of course, I would wait until spring or fall when it is cool in Arizona to do this dream.
