Yesterday we had clouds running amok through the skies with our painter scrambling to keep her colors from blowing away with the winds. Today ¡Nada! Not a cloud in the sky. However, our ever clever painter brushed the Sandias with pink, then she threw a spray of ocher that turned into lavender, purples, and blues as it spread from the horizon into the sky.
Our painter picks her colors from sunbursts.
Mama Owl watches as our painter makes her magic.

This is a magic post. Mama owl looks great 🤗
Thanks, Gabriela.
My pleasure 🌸
Sundown on the Sandias is always beautiful, and that is a nice reflection in the river. Your painter has some spectacular colors in her palette, and I love the post sundown sky with black lace trees set upon it. Mama Owl approves of your painter’s work.
I think Mama owl directs the painter as much as she can. The lacy trees are magical. Thanks, Lavinia.
Your painter has much talent 🙂
Thanks, Dale.
Beautiful, mama Owl is amazing!
Thanks, Holly.
Now this has got to be the new meaning of the word Nada! Even Mama owl is impressed!
Nada indeed. Stunning colors. Just amagical.
Thanks, Shey.

Wow wonderful! I love the owl! Thank you for brightening my day!
Thanks, Katie or Evee. I’m happy so happy I brightened your day.
Wow, the sunshine bursting through the fence slats is exquisite. Beautiful composition!
Thanks, Mary Jo.
Lovely as always, Tim. I especially like the purples in the last one. No wonder Mama Owl watches in fascination. Hugs on the wing.
Thanks, Teagan.
Vibrant colours of life, with Mama Owl sending a benediction to all of us. I especially appreciated the word, “painter” which added to the mystical quality of the colours.
Thanks, Rebecca. Marina is the one who noticed the painter.
She has a wonderful way of expressing ideas.
Incredible colors! I wouldn’t even have had names for all of them.
Thanks, Donna. The skies do go through a subtle but wide range of colors.
Mama Owl surveys her domain as the painter finishes her masterpiece. Sunbursts and lacy trees in black add to the striking beauty of the day. A pleasure to observe.
Splendid photos, Tim! You always manage to capture a new and interesting perspective!
Thanks, Tiffany. I try to find new perspectives.
Love that first pic of the Sandias!
We had snow last night. Norm had about a foot of it to shovel. Looks like 2 feet on the roof.
The Snowdias.
Thanks, Resa. I guess Norm got his workout on the snow.
Your post is flowing with magic colours …
Thanks, Julie.
