In January I discovered an exciting blog photography meme started by Jan at Murrieta 365 . This meme appealed to me because I need to work on taking better photos, which do a lot to enliven and illustrate blog posts. Here's how it works:
Jan is calling her new meme First Day of Each Month. Here are her directions: "The goal is to capture one thing repeatedly on the first day of each month. It can be a landscape, a person, an animal, a project; whatever your focus is fine. It can be a record of where you are each first day of the month." Interesting exercise, right?
I decided to photograph Kentucky sunsets. However, here at the first of February I'm expanding the focus a bit and doing Kentucky skies. For the past few days I've been snapping the cold winter skies--outlines of bare trees against steel grey skies, shades of pale rose in the evening, very little sign of the sun recently. Except! Here's what I woke to on Sunday morning--just a day or so short of February 1 when the official photo was to be taken for Jan's meme. I couldn't not share this beauty and, after all, rules are made to be broken , right? So, here we have Kentucky Skies -- taken on January 30, 2011:
Even if you're weary of winter who could not feel glad to see a sunrise such as this? If you'd enjoy seeing some more beautiful photography from all over and on many subjects, just click on Jan's webpage for a list of other First of the Month players.

I love photos of skyscapes and yours look dramatic yet beautiful all at once. Thanks for sharing.
Bravo, Faye! These are fantastic photos of the Kentucky sky. Simply breathtaking! I love taking sunset/sunrise pics. I nearly forgot about Jan's meme. I will try to post one later in the day.
Great shot Faye, thanks for the reminder...like Mother like daughter!!! I also forgot! I am heading over to Jan's blog now to sign up. Keep on snapping!
Love these, Faye. It's perfectly alright to expand the focus of your posts. Thanks for joining in.
Beautiful sky, Faye! I'm a big fan of sunsets so will be waiting to see what the rest of the year has in store.
