The genius and I made our way across the plains today and on into New Mexico by 5:30, Mtn. Time Zone. This was in spite of lots of construction and about an hour of rain in Texas. But we love the scenery of New Mexico and enjoyed our ride.
I was struck by the color of the sky as we rode and tried to capture it in the picture below. Near the earth it is a pale blue, almost turquoise, actually, and then it gets darker blue up above us. The clouds looked 3 dimensional and were really fascinating.
The second picture is of an overpass that is painted that same light blue and also a coral color. There were lots of other artistic touches everywhere: on water tanks, bridges, buildings, etc. I tried to get a shot of a storage tank that was covered in tiger stripes and then the front had the tiger's face on it, but I was too late. (The speed limit in New Mexico is 75 and the genius was going at least that.)
The third is Rufus who was not the least bit interested in all the scenery.
Tomorrow we will spend the day here and then go over to Phoenix on Friday.

So, in Tennessee, you don't have any of those newfangled "3-D" clouds? That's a real shame, as we really enjoy them here. I'll have to be on the lookout for what I can only assume are 2-D clouds later this summer when we come out to TN.
Sorry for the snarky comment, I just couldn't resist after reading that. :)
I am literally CRYING from laughing so hard! I love you Tommy!
