As I was driving around town today, running some errands, my eyes kept being drawn to the dramatic clouds surrounding the town. The sky was filled with fascinating shapes and colors and textures. Once I got back home, I thought I might try to take some photos, but the view was not as good because of the neighborhood houses and trees. But I just couldn't stop thinking about those clouds, so I hauled a step ladder out of the garage, and climbed up on that to get a better view! All of the seven photos in this album were taken facing east, with the late-afternoon sun in the west.
