Beautiful... Colorful... August Skies

August rolled in with the most beautiful colorful skies so I grabbed my camera and took these pictures. I just had to share!



These was taken facing the West.

These were taken towards the East.
Look at all the different in colors in the same sky!
This was more North.

And ... the West again!

I realized something after looking at this gorgeous sky tonight. The reason I love to quilt is the same reason I love sunsets... because I love seeing all of those wonderful colors come together to make something so beautiful!

Have a very productive Monday!

That sky is really gorgeous! Part of quilting is appreciating color....
Funny thing is, I have seen this exact same sky in other people's blogs in Utah!! Funny!

Thank you for the wonderful photos! Nature is amazing! Our fabric stashes are pretty weak compared to the real thing...but I guess that won't stop us from gathering more! ;-)

Cynthia ~ Somebody must be snitching my pictures from my facebook account as I posted there too. I took these all myself and loved every minute of it!

We had a beautiful sunset here in St. G last night too. Makes me wish I had grabbed my camera too.
Your pictures turned out fabulous. Thanks so much for sharing.

The best part of having a camera is that we can preserve these beautiful moments for a lifetime. Thanks for sharing.

How gorgeous. My latest project is to try and create just this scene - it's a little harder with fabric but I'm trying my hardest!

Wonderful photos Rae Ann. There's nothing like a gorgeous sunset in the Utah skies and I know how you love sunsets.
I always love to look at deep blue skies with big white fluffy clouds. Those are the ones that I always take pictures of. In fact, I posted a few of them today!

Awesome! We don't get to see sunsets or sunrises because our place is surrounded by trees. You sure do get some beautiful ones out where you are at.
