I would have thought the same thing a few years ago, but now that I've dived into the belly of Arizona, I can say otherwise. In the Midwest, lots of clouds usually mean a healthy, good sky. In Arizona, it's another affair.
Arizona skies have few clouds, which is why people have to be careful of the UV exposure there. During the day, the sun feels relentless because there are few clouds to buffer the rays. A sky with that many clouds is probably comprised of mostly smoke. From what my friends in Tucson say, the fire still goes.
I hope it is extinguished soon. I cannot bear to think of Mount Lemmon after this, when I'd found it so happily with Dave in 2002.
Also, I received your post card and it was one of the single most magical, wonderful things ever. Thank you.
actually, the fire was in remission yesterday. these clouds are the beginning of the monsoons, and are indeed healthy. rain made it into the far souttheatern corner of the state yesterday, and should be here in the next few days. i'll be dancing in it.
Beautiful Skypics!!!I thought I was crazy taking whole rolls of film of just sky, and whipping out my camera to snap hundreds of pics fromm 20,000 feet...over the clouds...I am so happy to find this love shared by so many. *giggle of joy* I am new...just wanted to thank you.

I was mostly impressed by the delicate hue of the blue, which looked a lot better than the reddish grey sky of the previous posts.
I hope you all get some rain there soon.
