Clouds-that-look-like-things Volume VII

[Hans Stocker]

It is already three weeks ago that Keelin posted #100 in Volume VI with the intriguing question: Is That You, Billy? Luckily I encountered the Genie and he said: “What would you wish of me: The ever-impressive, the long-contained, the often imitated, but never duplicated…
Genie of the Lamp!”

With this start of Volume VII, I wish for more Billy’s to come and of course all other ingenious findings in the clouds.

Genie of the Lamp

[Ruth Quist]

Hans, thanks for getting us on a new chapter.

Boeing 737 (all doors intact)

[Patricia L Keelin]

Thank you, Hans, for kicking off Volume VII! With Genie’s lamp more than lit and Ruth’s assurance that all doors are intact, I think we’re off to a fine start for our next adventures in Pareidolia Paradise.

And could this be your wish about to be granted? It’s quite vague and certainly not fully formed, but I think I see a head and eye here (facing to the left). Let’s just hope what happens in vagueness doesn’t stay in vagueness and Billy emerges fully formed romping his way across the big blue pond to visit soon.

Billy Blue

[Paula Bailey]

Sock puppet.

 

[Patricia L Keelin]

What a great catch, Paula! Your Sock Puppet has definite story telling potential. Maybe with the other hand, this one could add to the tale?

T-Rex Puppet

[Ruth Quist]

Paula, great puppet you have shared.

Keelin, and even a bigger puppet you have discovered.

Back to the Dogs

[Patricia L Keelin]

Cute flying puppy, Ruth. And isn’t it time for a small snack? This creature thinks so…

Moon Chip

“Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.” ― A.A. Milne

 

[Ruth Quist]

Keelin, the perfect quote for your cloud and yum on the moon chip.

Baby Elephant

[Patricia L Keelin]

Ruth, your Baby Elephant is most welcome to join the dance!

Dancing Dragon

[Ruth Quist]

Keelin, I love dancing animals.

This cutie is looking like an Anteater. 

[Ruth Quist]

Puppy on its back.

[Patricia L Keelin]

So cute, Ruth! I also see an otter in that cloud shape. Whatever it might be or become, there’s plenty of room for all up there.

You’ve Got  a Fast Car

[Hans Stocker]

Keelin, you make me think with this wonderful look-alike of Tracy Chapman:

You got a fast car
And I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Love it.

And I love your ‘Boeing 737 (all doors intact)’ Ruth, and the Anteater with the curly tail as well.

Woody Woodpecker With A Heated Beak?

[Patricia L Keelin]

Hans! So good to see you here ~~ and I’m delighted those lyrics are familiar to you too. And I’d say your Woody Woodpecker’s fiery beak is definitely going somewhere!

Here’s one that seems timely for this night of All Hallows’ Eve…

Moonlit Wailing Banshee

[Hans Stocker]

Wow, that’s a great Banshee that you spotted Keelin. What is she wailing about?

Election winds are blowing…..

[Ruth Quist]

Crazy shapes up there forum friends:  Cars, Woodpeckers, Indians, and some refreshing winds.

Adding A Moose to The Mix.  Remembering Bullwinkle.

[Patricia L Keelin]

Your golden moose looks quite content, Ruth. Made me smile!

As for that wailing banshee, Hans, perhaps she was complaining about the cold? This fellow might be to blame…Jack Frost

And yet her wailing is nothing compared to this spoiled fellow…

Temper Tantrum

[Patricia L Keelin]

Meanwhile, these pups might be looking for a playful romp with your moose, Ruth – or a certain squirrel to chase?

[Hans Stocker]

Great ones Keelin!. I had to laugh about Jack Frost. Nice to come up with some pups to let Ruth’s Moose play with

So let down the window
And let the wind blow back your hair

[Patricia L Keelin]

Bedankt, Hans. And what a keen eye you possess to have caught that cruiser with the window down. What a feeling! Perhaps he will cross paths with this fellow…

Gnome in a Cloud Sled Heading West

[Ruth Quist]

Keelin, terrific pups up there.  Hans, a winter sled for some lucky Gnomes.  That white really stands out.

An Iris- I have actually seen van Gogh Irises in a museum years ago.

[Ruth Quist]

A Lizard sun seeking.

[Ruth Quist]

A Smiling Dog

[Ruth Quist]

Three or Four men in a boat.

[Ruth Quist]

A guy chatting with his dog.

[Hans Stocker]

My last contribution on this thread (great ones above btw!) was accompanied by a quote from a song by Bruce Springsteen from the album Born to Run and the song Thunder Road. I love the album and this song in particular very much. And I love Bruce Springsteen even more since May 2025. He is great and unforgettable talent for sure.

Running Gag

[Ruth Quist]

Hans, I love Bruce too.

Two dogs on a cloud rug.

[Ruth Quist]

A horse of course

[Ruth Quist]

More sky animals.  Barking dog, cat, and somewhere a mouse.

[Ruth Quist]

Sharp dressed poodle.

[Patricia L Keelin]

Love them all, Ruth and Hans and Paula! So inspiring…

Entering the new season…

Hairy-Legged Spidey

[Ruth Quist]

Keelin, always love your photos.

Elephant in our presence.

Happy Dog

[Patricia L Keelin]

Elephants, Dogs, and Dragons. Oh my! This one appears to be of the flightless variety, but still offering a ride to the small creature on its back.

 

[Patricia L Keelin]

Fortunately for Jonah, the whale let out a great sneeze.

[Patricia L Keelin]

A few for the spooky season…

(This first one might be easier to see at small scale.)

Happy Ghost

 

Trick-or-Treaters

A bit of lens flair and who-knows-what took possession of the camera and created this scene of monster claws, a witch’s hat and a cat’s eye.

Happy Halloween to all!

[Hans Stocker]

To begin with the flightless kind your posts are all ingenious, Keelin. I love your Happy Ghost who looks after all very friendly and seems to come at a windy and wintery evening for trick-or-treat. And the lucky lensflare made a surrealistic dancing party for hatted witches. A Happy Halloween it will be for sure!
