Colorado Sky

Colorado has beautiful skies! The entire state, even the flat plains, are at a high elevation. The average elevation is 6,800 feet above sea level, so it seems the skies are bluer to me because of that fact.  Even the skies full of impending weather change seem more intense.  The photo above is the view my son and daughter-in-law see from their new home's front window. The storm clouds that brought us snow a couple days ago were beginning to accumulate that day.

This is the brilliant blue sky that Colorado usually sees over 300 days of the year!

Did you know that we get more sunny days than Miami, Florida or San Diego, California?

Even the clouds look whiter against such a deep blue sky!

I couldn't resist showing the angel-shaped cloud I saw one afternoon, one more time.

Towards dusk, the clouds begin to take on a beautiful glow from the setting sun.

They take my breath away!

Flaming clouds light up the sky at night.

Even stormy days are beautiful here when they are framed by such scenery!

The foothills seem made for snow.

The blue and white combination looks so clean and refreshing.

A snowy day here is so silent and peaceful.

One last photo I am proud of. It is a view of Denver from the highway. Look at all the puffy and swirly clouds in the sky that day! I took this photo from a moving car (no, I wasn't driving!). It may not be the familiar New York City skyline that I saw so often and loved,  but it's my new home. I love it for the love of family it holds and the future it represents for them. It's a big sky for big dreams! I'm glad to be a part of them!
