Blue Skies Today - Hurray!

• We have had grey skies for three weeks straight, and I am really missing sunshine and bright colors. I was musing to myself about this yesterday, thinking that my photos are so dark lately because they are taken with grey clouds all the time.

• So, today it was grey, but as I was walking I could see little glimpses of blue skies around the edges of the clouds over the valley.

• By this afternoon it was bright and beautiful.

• I'm still craving color - and lots of it, but I'm happy about the skies! Now, if only it were not accompanied by unusually warm temps to melt away all the snow and bring about a lot of mud. I'm not ready for mud season yet (that's what I call Montana spring).

• I played with that photo above a little and got this - kind of super natural looking, don't you think. Fun to play, even if it is a bit creepy.
• And this is my Photo of the Day for January 15th:

• I'm working at the scrapbooking store tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday. I'll have to try to do some studying there during slow times and in the evenings. It will be tempting to do some scrapping while I'm there. I just may pack a little crop bag of my stuff, but I know I should focus on working and studying.

• But, I remembered there is a layout I did there in December that I never posted here, plus four or five Tim Holtz inspired tags that I never posted here. So I'm going to try to get some photos of those and post them tomorrow night or over the weekend. That, is sort of exciting to me - it feels like so long since I've had a project to share. I love sharing photos too, but I miss sharing paper projects.

• Thank you all for the wonderful comments. It is so encouraging to read the nice things you say!

• Hope everyone has a great Friday and a good start to the weekend.
