Wonderful captures above from everyone here. I keep returning to many favorites for another breath of beauty, especially Light On The Belly (Hans) and Evening Excitement (Ruth). All of you make me want to find a way to rearrange my schedule!
Alas, this is the closest I’ve come lately to stepping out at either end of the day.
Final FlingFinally catching up here and am wowed by the many beautiful photos from all! Some favorites include Duncan’s Autumn (top photo), Michael’s #145, Hans’s Finger In Clay, and Big Rays by Ruth.
The Blue HourPS: Ruth, also loved the photo you took near Ronan recently eatured on the gallery. Calendar-worthy!
Duncan, thank you for posting Davies’ poem. I’m with Hans, and cloud-lovers far and wide, on the promise to stand and stare, in wonder and awe.
Hygge, thanks for the link. Your worthwhile project would have me looking both down and up for beauty in all its forms.
And danke je for your kind comments, Hans. So glad you enjoyed the seasonal tricks & treats. And yes, you are right and needn’t ask Alice about the inspiration for that title. ;) Your Dormouse had great timing to catch that strip of rainbow.
Let’s hope the little feathered friend below can find both timing and his wings quickly…
Flight Coach & FledglingLovely photos, Duncan. I can almost feel that damp sand in in A Scottish summer sky.
Ruth, looks like you had a skyful of the wet stuff there. That hint of blue in the water is a nice touch.
And Hans, Crestscape reminds me of a musical arrangement of subtle complexities. If I put my ear to it, what might I hear?
Rain AplentyMichael, what color thumb does it take to grown the clouds in your garden? #122 is a beauty. And #123 is delightfully odd! It makes me smile for that very reason.
Ruth, love your magical moonlit scenes. Deeply dark despite the full moon aglow. It even sounds quiet. Hope you didn’t get any mosquito bites while camping.
Don’t Scratch!As often as possible, Duncan! ;) Sometimes it’s hard to resist being influenced by the bards.
A Cloud As Lovely As A TreeRuth, you are a devoted cloud lover, waiting for the right moment to snap that Gallery featured moon shot. I hope you were well-bundled for Afternoon Delight. It, too, appears worth remaining still for. I see the way that tree limb is reaching for a Small Snack. It’s not moving either!
Halo Wrapped in TissueMichael, #120 has definitely got mystery to spare. Wonder-full! And exquisite, textural detail in #121.
There’s plenty of mystery in your Black & Blue too, Ruth. I love the way what it actually is slowly emerges from what it might be.
Abloom In The NightYes, of course, Hans! There’s a multitude of images that title would fit. ;) And I can almost taste the rain in your latest one above. Yummmm!
Ruth, I wouldn’t care so much which direction that road led. It beckons! Very sorry to hear Northern Lights did not dance within view for you. Hope the next opportunity comes soon.
Duncan, what gorgeous photos! The one with grey subdued colors is a favorite.
Rumor has it, there will be cause for celebration here tomorrow…
More Rain On The WayCould Cupid be as stealthy as your submarine, Duncan? And maybe mend the Heart that Ruth spotted? There’s a fair wind blowing, let’s hope his aim is good.
Cupid Takes AimRuth, 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 FallsWonderful images, Michael. Your latest one is simply remarkable!
Just Stringing Some Random Thoughts TogetherRuth, 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.
Horned Devil Head With An Unhappy ExpressionOn A Mission To Find DorothySurrealistic Pillow (stuffed with dreams that go bump in the night!)Hans, 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?
