I was not by the window when I flew home, into Dallas, but my seat-mate let me lean over her a bit to take this last one, right before we went into the clouds to land. It’s my favorite.

I’ve looked at a lot of clouds over Dallas and these were unusual. The wind was blowing and the formation changed as I snapped pictures. If I didn’t know that those were clouds, I would image that I was looking at an expanse of sand, with clouds and sky in the distance!

Wouldn’t these be great colors to use together in a quilt!
