PICTURE OF THE MOMENT

It’s rare that we have picturesque clouds here in San Diego. It’s usually all or none. So when we get magnificent clouds, we get all excited. People get up earlier, call friends to tell them about the clouds, call in sick…. Well, maybe I’m the only one who ever called in sick. lol

Work had me all over San Diego County a couple of days ago when the clouds were magnificent. At every job site I was looking in the sky to see what magnificent clouds I could capture on film on sensor so I could use them over and over again to replace dull, gray skies in pictures with beautiful blue and cloudy skies, as I did here.

I got enough cloud pictures to last me a lifetime…. four or five years…. until the next magnificent cloudy day comes along. After having just finished cataloging all my cloud pictures, here’s my favorite one, which I actually cataloged as “cloud tree”:

That poor tree was the only one for miles around.

I was in a heavy industrial district with an airport nearby. I think all the diesel and airplane exhaust is having an effect on the poor tree; it’s just barely surviving.
