February 23, 2012 Another Kansas Sky

There is something about a Kansas sky.  When it's cloudless, the blue is vibrant and crisp and the color you want to paint your kitchen if you could find a paint that matches exactly which you can't because it's a color that was made just for the sky over Kansas.

When weather is on the horizon, the sky is just as beautiful but with a bit of mystery; sort of like a woman wearing a veil - think Jackie Kennedy at JFK's funeral.

This was the eastern sky when I was driving home tonight.  Since most of our weather comes from the southwest, I was pretty sure this band of clouds was harmless to my little town but it still looked ominous and that's why I took a picture.

Also, I took this picture because I was pretending that I was driving to Colorado and I could see the mountains!  This "I'm in Colorado" fantasy is much better than my "I've had a bad day and I think I'll drive my car into a dry creek bed" fantasy.

A trip of any length with me (and my imagination) is full of surprises.
