Posted on September 6, 2012 by joanienaz

The sky has been incredible for the last twenty-four hours. A storm blew across the valley and settled in the foothills and mountains briefly, leaving little rain, but fantastic clouds. The sunset last night just kept getting better.  I was … Continue reading →

Posted on August 5, 2012 by joanienaz

I love to watch the fog roll over the coastal mountains into our valley at the end of a warm day. I also love to watch it roll out again!

After playing around with those apples yesterday, I needed to do something more. I took another look at my Corners of the Sky, and decided what it needed was some collage. I now believe that collage is the answer to almost any problem! … Continue reading →

The last couple of days have been exceptional ones for cloud watchers in northern California. I could spend all day watching clouds. I have many cloud photos. Some are better than others. However, it’s not always convenient (or safe) to … Continue reading →
