Joshua Tree Spring 2005…

because the previous post made me a bit nostalgic.

When Pigs Fly

I started collecting sky images when we were still living in Los Angeles. These first two photos were taken on one of our many trips out to Joshua Tree. It might have even been our last trip before we moved. We had lots of rain in 2005, which made for a gorgeous Spring and skies full of clouds where there are usually none.



And these two were taken in the backyard last night after our walk:

The sky is beginning to bruise...

night must fall and we shall be forced to camp!

Frank and I just got back from a walk around the neighborhood and a swing in the park. I must be out of swinging practice... I got butterflies! What a joy! I don't remember butterflies while swinging.

Came home and sat outside in the dark and watched the fast moving clouds over the ridge. Took some photos for my Pieces of Sky project.

Sky images are imprinted in my retina... I've been spending this week stitching the discharged denim that will be the pieces of sky. All I can see right now are skies, even when I sleep.
