Midwest Wonders

Anonymous Handsome Photographer Dayton Ohio

Dayton, Ohio
October 2011

Submitted by my sister for her friend and co-worker that took this picture outside of his office.
He would like to be credited as the

Handsome Anonymous Guy
that took this picture.

Seriously, there are times I wish I could live in the Midwest.
They get some amazing weather/clouds.
Since I don’t live there, I’m grateful for the wonderful people who are willing to take photos of the skies
and share them.

I can’t think of a more perfect place to be than this pond at this particular time.
Thoreau’s world appears perfect from this vantage point.

My husband sent me this picture he took with his iPhone.
Somehow I missed the email and didn’t find it until tonight.
I couldn’t wait to put it here.
Another stunning shot!

Contemplation

August 6, 2011
In front of my house.

A lovely thunderstorm rolled in tonight.
When everyone else ran for cover, I grabbed the umbrella and
sat on the curb and watched it go by.

(I wish I had grabbed by DSLR for this shot, but I only had my Canon Point and Shoot. Oh well!)

Shark Week

August 2, 2011
In front of my house.

This isn’t a perfect cloud picture.
But I decided to post it anyway in celebration of
SHARK WEEK!!

Can you see why?

Knobby Clouds?

These clouds are simply AMAZING to me.
I’ve never seen anything like them before!
I was told they rolled in right before a storm began.
I think I’d run for cover!!

Sent in by my friend whose friend took the picture…
And, to add to the confusion, both are named Lisa!
(Lisa in Hawaii sent the picture taken by Lisa in Minnesota.)

Thank you to BOTH Lisa’s for their willingness to share!

Monument
in YNP

My husband and I went on a spontaneous hike in Yellowstone on a Sunday afternoon.
Sadly, it was so completely unplanned, I forgot to take my camera.
But I had my phone!

I saw this one, lone cloud floating in a spotless sky
and it made me laugh and say,
“WHAT THE RANDOM?!?!”

Birthday Sunset

June 19, 2011
In front of my house.

Heavenly Father pulled out all of the stops for my daughter’s birthday today!
Not only did she get the rainbow (previous post) but this beautiful sunset as well.

This song comes to mind when I experience moments like this,
”I’m glad that I live in this beautiful world…
Heavenly Father created for me!”
--Children’s Songbook, pg. 228

Birthday Rainbow

June 19, 2011
Taken in front of my house.

Today is my daughter’s 19th birthday.
It seems that Heavenly Father sent this beautiful rainbow as a
lovely birthday gift to remind her that He loves her.

(How did I get so lucky to have such artistic friends?)
Sometimes, don’t you just want to snuggle in and take a nap in clouds?
