Great photo, Duncan! Leave it to fog to lift the curtain on a surprising cloudscape. Glad you were in the audience.

Fan Dance

Thanks, Michael. I keep returning to you #239—so textural and intriguing, and the delicate brush strokes of #242—beautiful.

And Hans, is there a devil in those Details?! Or just a bit of tortuous intortus? Wonderful capture!

Made For Each Other

[Patricia L Keelin]

Love the impressive heaviness of cloud in #1322, Michael, as well as the variety that follow.

Hans, I’ve seen something similar to your Purple clouds, but they’ve only become airborne when I’ve dusted ’neath the sofa. Now I see where they rightly belong to claim their real beauty!

Oh, where is my rain hat?

[Patricia L Keelin]

Duncan, now that is a dragon worthy of Samhain!

And Hans, you have been missed! Delighted to see you flying in on your Parrot (which seasonal influence has morphed before my very eyes into yet another flying dragon). So glad you enjoyed the Halloween series. May the Wizard watch over you with care!

Ruth, you’ve caught that Someone in the very act. Love it!

Wooly Friend of Billy In A High Wind

You’re so right, Duncan. It can be both—and what a wild ride your latest photo looks to be. Fabulous and other worldly.

And Ruth, the road certainly beckons seductively, Wide Load fits its title well, and I think a curling iron is evident in your latest.

PART 4
The two final clouds in the Halloween series might pose a little more challenge for those less blessed (or cursed?) with unrestrained pareidolia, so further below are outlines that reveal the characters within.

Thanks, Ariel! Your smiling muscle dog even sports some iridescence. Bow Wow!

Here’s another little pal for the playful pooches.

PART 3

Bat of White and Crow of Black

 

And this looked like a scene from the Wizard of Oz with Toto barking at the Wicked Witch of the West’s flying acolytes and poor Scarecrow (“That’s him all over,” as the Tin Man noted after they’d been attacked.

And Toto Too

PART 2

Hungry?

 

Hangry!

[Patricia L Keelin]

What follows is a little 4-part series in preparation for a Night of Beastly Bewitchment! These cloud creatures and characters were caught hovering just out of reach over the past several months. Can you spot the demons and spirits? Happy Halloween to all—and to all a B00! night!

PART 1

Something Winged This Way Comes

Thanks, Ariel! Your smiling muscle dog even sports some iridescence. Bow Wow!

Here’s another little pal for the playful pooches.

Fluffy Pup with Ears Aflying

Ruth, you caught a lovely glow from a valiant sun. Hope you enjoyed your time with the cloud conjuring ocean.

Ariel, it looks like your colorful Neanderthal did a fair job devouring the potatoes. Nothing left now but this…

Yes, indeed, Ruth, it’s time for the clouds to bring it with Halloween approaching. I see they’re gathering in Crevices and Fanning Out!

And I’d avoid that wonderfully strange formation in #235, Michael. Although, if it produced  #236/7, it looks like it might have something poetic to say. Love those soft lines and the splashy drama of 238!

Not sure what this is either, but I think I’ll stay away from it too.

Heading This Way?!

[Patricia L Keelin]

Yes, sometimes the high contrast makes the drama… well, more dramatic. That said, you’ve always shown a keen eye, Michael, for making the most of those subtle gray tones.

Now something seasonal this way comes… Halloween!

Michael, even though you get some warning time, somehow, I imagine you’d stay for a great shot. ;) Especially for one like #1321 — what a beauty!

Fun to share, isn’t it?
