Thanks for your kind comments, Ruth. Popcorn looks delicious — and Michael’s response is better than butter!

Michael, I’v never seen such a fine, evenly lined cloud layer. Fantastic!

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

[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…

All kinds of fun happening in this thread. Leave it to Black & White to bring it on!

Miscellaneous Mystery

So right you both are about how this cloud form surprises.

Careful! Don’t Step On It!

[Patricia L Keelin]

Wow ~ stunning blues above from all of you above! Room for more?

Reaching for the Moon

 

[Patricia L Keelin]

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. ;)

Bright Spot with Flare

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.

Half Full or Half Empty?

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!

Hans, what an amazing catch! Who’s a good Twindog?! I think a treat is in order there. As for the Northern Lights, they seem to have been stretching further south these past few years, so I wouldn’t be surprised if you manage to catch it too.

And Greg, how lucky is that smile? I think it must be the treat you get for looking up at just the right moment!

Swept Away in the Radiance of the Moment

 

[Patricia L Keelin]

WOW ~ Ruth, Michael, Robert, Greg! Such amazing and beautiful images here. So grateful for all the sharing of your skies and eyes.

A Change in the Weather

 

[Patricia L Keelin]

Thanks, Michael! Things are definitely emerging in #211.

Hans, perhaps it’s Hallowe’en night’s influence, but Chase of Clouds is reminding me of a ghost costume. Did it follow you about? Is it still out there??

And Ruth, What a beauty! Love those gentle swirls!

Delicious Enough to Make Me Drool

[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

[Patricia L Keelin]

Beautiful illusion, Ruth! I never tire of seeing your moon shots.

Did you catch the Aurora Borealis up there in Montana recently? We had only a hint of it down here in Napa. These backyard photos were taken ~9:30PM. Too much neighborhood light, but still exciting to see even a little glow. iPhone camera caught it better than my unaided eye. I increased the contrast and de-fuzzed the images, but didn’t enhance any colors. Subtle, but oh the ooooh!

 

[Patricia L Keelin]

Beautiful feeling of space in your latest photos, you two. And Michael, yours still look fine here.
