Airplane Clouds

Flying to Kansas last evening, I was treated to some spectacular views of clouds outlined against the day’s last rays of sunlight.

It was good to get away and good to be back.

Wishing you a lovely day!

Morning Clouds/Flint Hills Discovery Center

Often when I walk in the morning, I wish that I had my camera with me to take pictures of the sunrise. This morning, I actually remembered to bring my camera with me, so I went to the uppermost patio at the Flint Hills Discovery Center to take some photos. The Discover Center is just a few blocks away from The Morning Star and is a fun destination even when it is closed.  It has a walking path that winds up around the Northeastern side of the building, passing through a native plants area.

It was pitch black when I arrived at the Discovery Center, but I was hopeful for vivid skies.

The sunrise this morning was obscured by clouds, but the clouds had their own beauty.

… And, of course, shortly afterward, it started to rain – just a little.

I was happy to catch some interesting cloud photos this morning. Then I had to rush home to make yummy breakfast!

Have a great day!

Travel Theme: Beaches

Where’s My Backpack‘s travel theme for this week is beaches.

It was difficult to decide which image I wanted to share, but decided upon one of my favorite photos from Ohope Beach, New Zealand.  Its atmospheric quality seemed to fit my mood this morning. I hope that you enjoy the photo.
