Late summer is the time when giant thunderheads produce afternoon and evening storms. There have been some beautiful displays of fluffy clouds and dark blue skies. I believe that the painter Maxfield Parrish must have loved these dramatic clouds as much as I do, because so many of his paintings show them. Do you see a similarity between his paintings and my photographs? If only I could paint them like he could. I'll just have to be content with my photographs.

i do see similarites~!
it's interesting what catches our eyes and hearts as photographers . . . i
i see and enjoy those skies but almost never feel compelled to shoot them.
same with portraits.
but when it comes to the tiny details i MUST get at least one shot (often many more).
i'm glad you feel the need though as they are beautiful and you do a good job of showing that.

those skies, your photos of them, are lovely... and yes i see the visionary similarity.
Libby, I usually photograph small things, too. Clouds rarely turn out as they are in real life, but these were so magnificent, I had to try and capture them.
