Clouds

Pretty amazing, eh?  When I lived in Alaska I couldn't stop staring at the night sky when the Aurora Borealis was out.  It was the most magical phenomenon I ever witnessed.  It only came out in winter and it felt like a reward from nature for enduring the dark, cold days. Now that I live in the desert, I find clouds to be my skyward distraction.  It's so seldom that we have a cloudy day that when we do, all I want to do is lay in the grass and stare at the shapes and colors above me.  The various shades of gray against the gorgeous blue sky are just amazing.
