Stormy sky, overlooked

It’s all too easy to overlook everyday beauty, don’t you think?

You look out of the window and sigh, “Grey skies again!” Well, at least I do.

But now and then those grey skies are suddenly transformed into a dramatic and breathtaking oil painting, with large clouds balled up in a sky that seems to go on forever.

(You can always click the photos to see them even better!)

As you look, you see that the colours are not really grey, but a glorious range of pastels, silver and pearly coloured, splashes of dark purple and – there – can you see it in the photo below? – a lovely blue breaking free from the horizon like a shy smile lighting up a small child’s face.

I’m going to scoop up the next grey skies in my hands and drink deeply from them.

Will you?
