It is a bit of a coincidence to have to start a new volume for the Color Thread. Unfortunately I missed a lot in the former Volume, but it is great to scroll through all the magnificent images. Here is one to start with in this 16th volume. Wow, the numbers are growing.

We have had a cold spell here in the UK while the jetstream keeps the cooler air around us. It’s warmed up these past few days but the skies have continued to be crazy – what a great time to have joined the Cloud Appreciation Society! :D
On my walk home from work today, some gorgeous cotton wool altocumulus (though some of the cloudlets were much smaller than my finger, I don’t think they were higher), and some fast moving fractus lower down.

Paula, Nice blanket of altocumulus . I always have fun when the altocumulus show up.. Ruth the upper sonoran desert has had 3 days of threatening weather with rain making it to ground last nite and cooling things down a lot. A tropical depression over in the Gulf of Mexico is feeding moisture in to the desert here..muggy..

Michael, nice photos as always. We are in a heat wave. Not many clouds to enjoy.

Paula, what a skyful you captured!
Michael, #165 is just so gentle. I keep coming back to it for another breath of calm.
Ruth, love your Love the Rain. So dramatic! Did you get wet?
Just Two Colors on the Palette Today

July 28, 2024 at 6:17 pm #611882Ruth QuistParticipant
Keelin, fortunately I didn’t get wet. Watching weather at a distance has its advantages, plus running outdoors. Two palettes are just enough color.
Micael, #165 is one smooth image.
Bam, more color out there.

September 20, 2024 at 5:53 am #617557Michael LerchParticipant
Nice shot with good detail in shadows Ruth! Yes Ruth, should be grays not purples. Im using Apple desktop photo process which is bare minimum. Color saturation is a problem when going for grays because Apple uses color to achieve gray rather than a grey scale..apparently… Below is the final of the series and maybe the one I like best.

Arizona Color #172 has a Halloween feel, Michael. Love it. As I do love ‘Raining down there somewhere’, Ruth.

Dripping is a cool capture Hans. Reminds me sparklers, smoke and all.

Hans, such fluffy stuff out there in Sticky.
Michael, I would like to be underneath #172. A big waterfall of sorts.

I love the golden colors in Cotton Candy, Ruth. Yes, we are having fun, Michael and seemingly you too. Love your last composition in white and a bit of blue (#175).
Just Peculiar -
December 11, 2024 at 2:27 am #628268Michael LerchParticipant
Thanks Hans. For me,peculiar is one of the first aspects a cloud shot must have before pulling the trigger. That makes things interesting and your shot of the wind blown cloud is interesting!

Thanks too Michael. #176 seems to be one of your favorite layered ones. You are so right about peculiarity. Here is another ….

So wish I had more time to post on forum topics, but alas! Be that as it may, I could not let this first day of the New Year pass without thanking all of you dear friends for the joy your images bring. Wishing you skies of surprise in various shapes and shades with the fairest of winds in your sails!

A series from this past November below taken from a couple of different angles. I noticed a similar photo on the Gallery back then by what must be a nearby neighbor. I like the thought of us both looking up to find this unusual cloud formation that spread quite far across the sky.

Thank you Patricia (or do you still prefer Keelin?) for your lovely poetic new year’s wish. I hope you will find every now and then some time to post on the Forum. I always look forward to your wonderful words. And … your Ice Crystal Sailing Vessel is wonderfully fairy like. Half Full or Half Empty as well. With these posts you already contributed to the fulfillment of you wish and I promise I will do my own attempts to do so too.
Is it the beginning of a new year? Michael also starts poetic in the Asperitas thread. Check his last one. I love it.
Here are the traditional Oliebollen with some powder sugar to start the new year with.

Very Nice Work there Keelin!. You saved the best one for last, imho. The tension is so cool.. We don’t see such well behaved cloud in the Valley. Below is what we get when we do get weather.

January 4, 2025 at 12:39 am #631498Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Thank you Hans and Michael for kind comments — and the nice dusting of powder sugar!
Taking a scroll through last year’s images above, so many beauties! Ruth, I can’t help but keep returning to your Cotton Candy and Raining down there somewhere. #165 and #172 by Michael and also Dripping and Parallel Structure by Hans are absolute favorites.
On another day more recently, there was this sweep of Cirrus — and a bright spot…
PS: And yes, Hans, still just Keelin is my prefence — thanks for asking. ;)
