Patricia L KeelinParticipantHope your dog catches his treat, Ruth—before it turns into something else!
Meanwhile, I’ve been wondering if the natural metamorphosis of clouds may have inspired Kafka.
Alas, Poor George!
Patricia L KeelinParticipantLove your More Moon glow, Ruth. This topic hold so many surprises. And it doesn’t take much to make us glow when such optical delights present—especially with first sightings like your sundog. Congratulations!
Just A Touch Of Iridescence
Patricia L KeelinParticipantGlad to hear my final post to V. V gave you a good giggle, Hans. And thank you for getting V. VI off the ground with such an elegant, linear gesture. I think it’s gonna be a ringer. ;)
Split End
Patricia L KeelinParticipantAh, thank you, Michael! And I like the feeling of a flock in flight in your #216.
The clouds below remind me of this clever question posed by Satchel Paige:
“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?”
Ageless
Patricia L KeelinParticipantDoesn’t seem right to start a new volume for the Contrail topic with this lark, so just tagging it on here. A new type of CVI?

Patricia L KeelinParticipantThank you, Laurence! How I would love to visit Scotland. And then to look up and see the Aurora? Oh ‘twould be ecstasy indeed! A dream shared.
Patricia L KeelinParticipantCleared For A Landing has the bright look of a meteor, Ruth. A straight shot before winds have their capricious way with the trail.
Or the sun colorizes it, as in your Following, Hans. What a hue! Meeting of Styles renewed my long longing to spot a CVI. And at last! Written across the sky above my own backyard… How many years ago did you introduce me to this calligraphic wonder?
Crow In The Tree
Patricia L KeelinParticipantOh, but Ruth, your snow scenes are captivating! I just hope you’re keeping warm enough there. Got hot cocoa?
And what a gorgeous photo is your Distant Travelers, Hans. Where are they heading?
Here are a couple who look to be in a hurry to join their journey.
Traveling Companions
Patricia L KeelinParticipantThey don’t come any more mysterious than your latest two, Hans and Michael. Love ‘em!
There’s mystery as well in your great Gray, Ruth. Beautiful variations on a theme you’ve captured both here and on the Gallery!
When viewed at a small size, the clouds below begin to take on the form of a bird with long tail feathers, like a charcoal drawing still in the making.
Flight Unfinished
Patricia L KeelinParticipantAh Peter, can’t say you’ve not given it a good go! Once another image is revealed, it can be fun to toggle back and forth between them.
And Duncan, I see now the fellow sitting and the crustacean! What more might be found?
If you’ve not yet spotted the dinosaur, here’s a nudge that might help him come out stomping.
And who knows what this set of clouds has since become? I suppose we’ll just have to keep our eyes on the skies to find out.

Patricia L KeelinParticipantOh yes, I now see the face too, Ruth! And I like it very much. Mysterious, with that veil of cloud over the other half of it. I wish I could hear what tale s/he has to tell!
Your shark there looks a bit scary. Maybe he just needs a treat?
For the big guy below, some munching on some fresh tree shoots or binging on bananas will likely keep him from going bananas. Then, a nice bath might just make his day.

Got Mud?
Patricia L KeelinParticipantIt’s always fun to see what others see in our shared clouds, Duncan. And as Hans pointed out ages ago, once seen…. Thanks to you, I can now easily spot the early lay of the lands back when dinosaurs such as the one below roamed.
This one seems to be stomping in a rage about having lost his tail, maybe feeling a bit envious of his lizard cousin’s talent for regeneration. Do you see what I see?
A Tale of No Tail
Patricia L KeelinParticipantOh yes, Ruth, I do remember… and the Mickey Mouse Club afternoon TV show was a favorite back then. I especially loved “Anything Can Happen Day” — which is what looking at the sky is like, come to think of it.
That’s an impressive Eagle you spotted. And I think this pup would be driven to barking at it were it not being distracted by a tasty treat.

Patricia L KeelinParticipantThank you, Laurence! Love the Mamma!
Patricia L KeelinParticipantGreat subtly in those soft Lurking grays, Ruth. Metamorphosis, with its very fitting title is a dynamic favorite, Hans. And Arizona B&W #213 is appealingly surreal, Michael. All wonderful additions!
