Patricia L KeelinParticipantRuth, I love looking at the grand vistas you post from Big Sky country. They inspire deep breathing.
Michael, #142 is really something new! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like it.
Moon in the Falls
Patricia L KeelinParticipantWonderful images, Michael. Your latest one is simply remarkable!
Just Stringing Some Random Thoughts Together
Patricia L KeelinParticipantRuth, your Five Toes has me wondering if that footprint could belong to Big Foot from Bigfork.
And Michael, I can’t help but see a very happy fledgling celebrating the joy of new-found wings.
Duncan, I love your visions that elicit mood as well as awe. Lighting bolt in color and formation leads me to ask: Is everyone ready for Halloween?
Below are a few clouds collected since last Hallow’s Eve. The original photos, as surprising as it may be, have only been cropped and/or contrast/color slightly adjusted for seasonal effect.

Patricia L KeelinParticipantHans, what a beautiful, and almost other-worldly start to Volume VI! And the feeling just continues with Just A Glimpse… Another extraordinary shot and absolute favorite.
I’d like to float along with you, Ruth, and breathe in those big open skies you share with us here. Even a night flight looks promising, according to your Gallery-featured photo of a gorgeous full moon and clouds over Bigfork (congratulations!). Will you be on the lookout for an Aurora Borealis show tonight? Hope you’re treated to the extraordinary treat!
Richard, your photos above really captured the quiet drama of that storm that I’m sure did not remain quiet. Great compositions.
And Duncan, that’s a sky that looks like it could give you quite a wild ride. Their beauty is so beckoning! Did you get into one of those planes in the last photo for a closer look?
Before The Rain
Patricia L KeelinParticipantThanks, Michael, and Wow! I agree with Hygge on the beauty of #139. You are so right about taking chances with certain uncertain clouds, perhaps sensing their potential with a different eye? If that’s the case, you obviously have that eye!
Finally, clouds didn’t just sail on by…
Rain!
Patricia L KeelinParticipantThanks for posting the link, Hygge! Such beauty all around us, all around the world.
Patricia L KeelinParticipantSome gorgeous new images to delight us all above. Hans, Dashy is a liquid-like wonder. Definitely an all-time favorite. Ruth, I love that sense of beckoning you captured in Stripes No Stars. And Michael, is that a little figure doing a rain dance in #138? Looks like he’s getting some good results!
Recent Arrivals
Patricia L KeelinParticipantMichael, thanks for sharing the link to your great website. Endless fun, isn’t it? Your octopus in that big sea of blue sky looks to be on the move, and like his sea-dwelling cousin, appears ready to take on a completely new form in the next moment.
Ah Ruth, your Anteater charms. Ever since I had an enchanting dream about a Myrmecophaga Tridactyla, I’ve been enamored by them. He too, looks to be on the move, as does your dashing quick Izzy.
And Hans, WOW! What is going on in El Dorado?! I want to read the story and see the film on that one. A fantastic image!
I think this next creature might also live in same neighborhood. I’m not sure if it only comes out at night.
Another El Dorado Resident?
Patricia L KeelinParticipantThose long lashes look set for dream mode, Hans, where visions like the Michael’s lovely lenticular clouds may drift by and morph into, well, just about anything.
Something Always Emerges
Patricia L KeelinParticipantGeorge, those are truly beautiful videos! Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
Love the delicate colors in Big Craters, Ruth. A little touch of iridescence can make a memorable sighting.
Hans, yes! I do remember well the fine detail in the photo you posted to the B&W topic a few weeks back. And a fine, colorful fox, you have there! Is he up to any mischief? Thank you, too, for kind comments on my recent postings above.
This one looks as if little tree branches poked the sun and some color leaked out.

Patricia L KeelinParticipantLove the calm flow in #1912, Michael, while #112 reminds me of Dante’s Inferno. Very dramatic!
And Hans, Here Comes the Sun is simply lovely.
Here is one that reminds me of a line in Mimi Farina’s song In the Quiet Morning, her touching tribute to Janis Joplin. Joan Baez (Mimi’s sister) sings it with great heart.
Tossed By The Tides Of Misfortune
Patricia L KeelinParticipantLots of exciting images have been shared here since I was last able to contribute to the topic. Love the variations! And funny how some contrails seem to do a clean line dance while others sway and swirl with wild abandon. Gorgeous golden color in your last one, Hans!
I don’t see many trails here lately, but this morning, there was this small segment.
The Bottom Line
Patricia L KeelinParticipantMichael, I see your cute cumulus chick hopped over to the Gallery. Congratulations!
The creature below was so startling in definition when I first saw him that I did a double-take. The original photo has only been cropped and contrast pushed just a bit to draw him out from the background. I only wish I could hear what he appears so eager to say.
Have You Heard The One About The…
Patricia L KeelinParticipantAh, thanks, Ruth! And so true about the joy of sharing what we’re so fortunate to see with others. In More Hide And Seek, I like the way you’ve used the trees in the foreground to block the sun, revealing the subtle beauty of clouds in the background.
And Hans, what a fantastic iridescent undulatus photo you’ve captured (featured on gallery). It is pure magic!

Patricia L KeelinParticipantPS: Beautiful photo of your Montana Lenticularis on the Gallery, Ruth. Twins!!
