I will be the first to admit that if someone were to scroll through the camera roll on my phone, they would find very little variety. Typically, when I'm reaching for my phone camera, it is to capture one of my doggos doing something adorable or because the sky looks beautiful. I will stop whatever I am doing to take a photo of either, honestly.

Recently, I have taken my love of the sky a step further by practicing painting it using various acrylics and watercolors. There is just something about the sky, whether that be the shapes of the clouds or the burst of colors and light, that is so intriguing. Whether I'm painting it or catching a quick photo, I can't ever let a good sky view go to waste. And it turns out, I'm not the only one.

For some lucky contributors, their photos could be featured during a news broadcast or on the station's Facebook or Instagram pages. Aside from the sky in all its glory, there are photos of the moon that will make you wonder how they even caught. Not to mention, whenever there is severe weather, the cloud photos are absolutely unreal. From sunsets to magical cloud formations, Kentucky and Indiana residents feature the states' beauty with just the click of a camera.
