    Love the photos!!! (Manassas Bull Run Battlefield, right?)

    LOL – I know those “cloud people” — believe it or not — our flight on Monday from Cleveland was literally flying right below those black ominous clouds. Getting under them was another story all together. Had a young Marine going off to boot camp who had never flown and he looked at me and said, “I’m an adrenaline junkie” …… Trust me, it gave me comfort – ROFL However the weird part was to look out the plane’s windows and literally see those clouds right on top of us. These are, as always from you, beautiful photos.

    Thank you all for leaving such nice comments as always!
    The only thing I did to my photos above was add a border and my name, thanks to Pixlr. Nothing else.
    It was thrilling to be driving down the road with those dark ominous clouds on one side and bright skies on the other.
    It hardly rained at all.
    Mother Nature is so amazing!

    Utterly gorgeous photos. Super impressive, especially the last one. And I swear I thought the first one was a painting when I first saw it.

  26. Linda K | October 18, 2012 at 3:39 pm |

    What breathtaking photos Patty- and how blessed we are to see such beauty in nature.

  27. crafty dawn | October 19, 2012 at 8:12 am |

    I love the atmosphere of these moments (having been in similar times) isn’t it wonderful when the sun is shining and you can feel the energy of the coming storm the contrast of light is magnificent

  28. Linda Jo | October 19, 2012 at 11:00 am |

    I adore these photos. These would be great cards. Ya know? Like…when the storms of life gather, etc, etc….. I really love clouds!!! Excellent catch, Patty!

    Soooo striking!

  30. Lorelei | October 20, 2012 at 9:37 pm |

    These are just beautiful. I was born and raised in Pennsylvania and we have returned to my hometown to retire. But I spent the middle 35 years in Virginia and miss the skies like this. Do you sell copies of your photos? Thank you for sharing your talent and God’s glory.

  31. laenglehardt | October 21, 2012 at 1:31 am |
