Over the 4th of July weekend, my dear friend and fellow artist Ian Hemingway was kind enough to drive me all over the countryside to show me his beautiful neck of the woods in Upstate New York.  (We also ventured into quite a bit of Western Massachusetts.)  I had the time of my life and took almost 1,500 photos!  There will be many to come here as I go through them and get them sorted, but I thought I would start with some gorgeous clouds that we stopped to capture after driving through a torrential thunderstorm on Sunday.
