I walked this lane days ago, under pink clouds against blue, their edges brilliant, as if the door to heaven had been left open--just a crack.
It was an image too perfect. Of a full moon rising while, still, the sun crept low.
And, as too often is the case, I without my camera, could not capture it.
Day after day, I returned to the spot.
But perfect skies had moved on.
A reminder that even this day, with its tumbling gray heaviness, is like no other.
And I must capture it while I can.

Wonderfully evocative photos. I love dark heavy clouds--they hold such drama.
Beautiful dark skies.
And capture it you did, beautifully.
Nina: Lovely capture of the Sky and beautiful words to bring it home.
I do like how you have composed that first image to go on and on into the future. Most symbolic ...
I love the composition! specially the 2nd shot:)Drop by if you got a chance, HERE.
Beautiful! Love the mood on the first one! :D
GREAT SWF PHOTO!
nice SWF photos
Clouded skies can be beautiful ;-)
Super captures.
These are amazing skies even in their cloudiness.
The last image is perfect!
Great catch for Skywatch! Mine's up too hope you can drop by,,,,asking for you vote too... Thanks a lot! Happy weekend!
You could have been with me--that top photo so looks like my area.
Lovely photos, Nina, and your words are so true: "This day... is like no other." Wonderful.
The ephemeral changes, passes, yet is ever mutating into an other form. It seems God has so much to offer there is no tie for encores.
Glad you got these lovly pics instead and carry the poignant memory of lost opportunity with you.

Terrific capture.
Such an ominous sky for the journey down this road.
"A reminder that even this day, with its tumbling gray heaviness, is like no other." -- well said.
Both photos are lovely, but I find I like the second one best, for whatever reason.
great captures!nice shots
You certainly captured these beautiful sky photos well! Great job!!
We have those overcast skies today and are predicted to be around all day tomorrow too. No rain for us though. We need rain in the worse way.
Very nice photography.
My SkyWatch post today > Canon Pixels
If I wasn't dealing with my own dark, heavy clouds I could better see the beauty, but there wasn't enough blue sky this summer...
A reminder to carpe diem or there will be regets! Your photos are beautiful anyways, and the words so perfectly written.
I'm sure the pink was more spectacular, but I love these gloomy skies.
Such beautiful, dramatic clouds!
Love those moody blues kind of skies.
Cloudy skies...a sign fall is not far away.
Nice capture for SWF
Lovely photos. Yep, Fall is just around the corner :)
I like when sky is all blue!
Marvelous post!
Have a nice weekend!

These look like abstract paintings, Nina.
Beautiful.
Love both pics! But the first one is particularly fascinating. There is a sense of grizzly blue sky above a grizzly blue earth!
very pretty
beautiful!
Your words went straite to my heart, you are so right. Enjoy each day as it is.
Nina, it's sooo beautiful!
Great, beautiful photos of an incredible sky. I love your blog, by the way.
I love how soft the compositon and the colors are.
These dark clouds appropriately arrived this week, with sad news of my uncle's passing.
And the realization that, as with everything, moments passed cannot be recaptured.
They remain as impressions we remember. A brightness contrasting the dark skies.
