Change happens fast. You need to act quickly.
The early morning clouds were rushing past. There was a low layer of dark gray clouds which partially shrouded a more colorful layer of clouds high above.
Near the center of this frame, behind the dark clouds, was a giant pink cloud that was brightly illuminated. I tried to photograph it, but I was just a few moments too late. It was gone forever as the dark cloud cover quickly grew heavier and enveloped most of the sky.
Luckily, there was still some color left when I took this picture, and all the bright colors were gone just a few minutes later.
I lamented my missed opportunity for a brief moment, but happily accepted it, knowing what I had already accomplished today.
