Draping the scene - a photo on Flickriver

Draping the scene

            It has been some time I chanced a stroll among the unmasked precovid McIntosh lake but after this year's extended wait for spring, I was looking for anything green and I noticed this sky at Lake McIntosh below  hanging cottonwood limbs. It seems the clouds and limbs are draping this scene to to show what our fleeting mini-spring ought to have looked like. OK, I decided it was time to switch the subject away from dead eastern lumber! 

We'll see what is to come later as the usual afternoon clouds start their creep over the Rockies. I'm all about clouds and sky; have you looked over brilliant sky masters like Edward Weston? Like always, he saw them as nudes. I bet his photography is on the web. This is not a nude as far as I can tell. 

Today, we are locked into an early two week heat stroke that Trump says is NOT Global Warming. Today some clouds are providing some relief as we pray for late afternoon clearing. Our current string of days over 90 degrees will extend over two weeks.
