When I think of Utah, blue skies and red rocks dominate.  However, once in a while, you see some drama swirling overhead.   One day, while visiting Capitol Reef, that is exactly what we saw.  Now you can see the painting of that day to your left. 

Wouldn't it be nice to just land on a cloud (alive!) and buzz around making different shapes in the sky?  (One day I saw a little Mini Cooper in the sky.  The day before a bunny rabbit.  And, of course, we all see the giant cotton puffs.)  Back to your cloud life:  Now remember that you are floating above the Capitol Reef!  Look down and see the vibrant cliffs -- reds, ochres, mustards, pinks.  People are swarming around, oohing and aahing at the petroglyphs, the yucca plants, the wild evening primroses scattered about.  As the people on the ground are thrilled to be there, so are you, sitting pretty among the dramatic clouds that entice people such as myself to paint them. 

What a grand life we have!
