When I walked out of a store at sunset, the sky was wild over the Sandias. On my way home the sky was very distracting. I stopped several times facing icy winds, crossing busy streets, and getting stickers in my socks to photograph the quickly changing wild sky.

Shey’s Tree. Cindy’s Santa Cynthia Tree. Christine’s Tree on the right.
Winds blow under darkened clouds
Inside out cold befalls
Snow clings to trees
Topped by towers
Sliver moon smiled. Disappeared.
Sliver moon at dawn.
Cold sunlight on cottonwoods under wintery clouds.

Beautiful Dawn’s breath
Held the balloons on the ground
Eternal hours wait
Sun’s rays break through clouds
Shining favor on balloons
Green flag lets them fly
Up up and away
One flew under broken clouds
Crazy as it seems
Off Center & Not Even
