# 25 of 365 for January 25, 2013

     Today was a cold, gray day.  Normally I don't take landscape pictures when the sky is that whitish, gray color, and texture-less......  you know the gray that wants to show up in my pictures as a blown sky.  I love nice pretty blue skies with big fluffy clouds or even dark gray, stormy looking skies..... but the dull whitish gray skies .............  well I am not to excited about shooting those, even with hdr it is hard to get much life into the sky.

    But today as I stood looking out the kitchen window washing dishes I realized I don't see those days as unattractive.  No maybe they aren't my favorite color days but I still find beauty in them.  I love to watch the layers of fog lift in the mountains and see the raindrops hanging on the branches.

     So I braved the cold and fine, misty, rain and went out with my camera to challenge myself and see if I could capture some of the beauty I could see, even on a dull, cold, gray day.  After all..... life has it's gray days too, yet I find I am always much happier if I look for, focus on, and embrace the beauty in the gray :)
