Recent Glimpses of Luke...


Watching and photographing the sky has always been a love of mine.  Warmer weather has finally arrived here and with it has come some beautiful days filled with glimpses of some of Luke's cirrus clouds. It continues to be a joy for us to watch the sky to see if we can catch a glimpse of these beautiful clouds after which our sweet Luke is named.  Cirrus clouds are the clouds located closest to heaven and they always remind us that our little guy is not only nearby, but that he is watching over us.  The incredible sky above us is ever changing and seems to allow us here on earth tiny glimpses of the vast beauty that only heaven can hold. Here are some of our most recent sightings of Luke we've had within the last 10 days or so... 



...driving down the street (well, at a stoplight)...


...while taking a break during an all day training... 

....above the parking lot of where I work...

...above Target...

...somewhere in western Kansas...



....above eastern Colorado...

...somewhere along I-70...






...a faint sundog (look for the rainbow) we saw in Eastern Colorado...

...above Colorado....



....on Mother's Day as we walked together beside a beautiful lake...

...and a gorgeous sundog (what that rare rainbow within a cirrus cloud is called) captured by our dear friend, Katie.  Thank you for sending us this amazing photograph Katie!
It brings us so much joy when we hear from friends that they have seen some cirrus clouds and thought of Luke or when we receive photos of cirrus clouds that people have taken the time to share with us. We just cannot tell you how much that means to us. 

We all love you Luke and watch for you everyday!

  3. I love these photos!! I always loved the beauty of clouds, but since Luke's birth, I have been noticing them so much more. I need to keep my eye out for a sundog! -Laura
