    Love your Owl, Ruth! Looks like the wise, snowy kind which brings cool thoughts to mind. ’Tis hot here too (in Napa, CA), but not as toasty as further north. Be that as it may, would you care to join me for some Iced T? Below are two sips from a series still in process of collection. So far, I’ve only captured 11 of 26 letters for an English alphabet.

    Thank you for the refreshing effects of your recent additions, Hans, Ruth and Michael. Cover Up and …Waiting To See My Dentist make me want to stand beneath them and revel in a cool sweep of virga, while #137 feels like the splash I’ve longing for.

    Ruth, your serene and lovely Foggy View, featured on the Gallery a few days ago, prompted me to review archives from a trip to Alaska years ago. There, I found this…

    Michael, the softness of #204 reminds me of the gentlest of rains. Just looking at it feels refreshing.

    Like you, Ruth, I’m longing for cooler temps. Your Dreaming Of Shade well captures that very moment when the clouds are ready to provide.

    Hans, I am expecting at any moment for something to emerge from your cracked open clouds in Fracture. You know I love the mystery of it!

    And Richard, a warm hello and welcome to the B&W topic. You’ve flown in with flair, Banshees and all! Into the Abyss is downright magical.

    The image below reminds me of how color is often the first to go as dreaming comes to an end. It’s tricky to maintain the balance ‘tween dreaming and waking, but if managed, there’s fun to be had dancing along that fine line and watching as both vividness and dimension return.

    Beam makes a great ethereal slide, Hans. And I feel like that’s just what I did through Michael’s splashy#202. A fun ride followed by the quiet awe of Light and Water by Ruth. Mysterious!

    Love the soft shapes in #203, Michael. And Ruth, your Fog makes the perfect backdrop for that delicate webwork.

    I’m thinking back to a different season here as things grow tinder dry (again)…

    John and Hans, thank you for this info and the beautiful images of NLC! This is what I’d wish to become in the next morphing (from star dust to cloud dust?), still dancing and shining after the sun has already gone to bed.

    Love your frolicking Mermaids, Hans. And your elegant sailing Swans as well, Ruth. Somewhere on a distant shore, another smooth sailor…

    Ruth, Back To Land offers a beautiful, beckoning perspective. Love the contrast of a cloud-filled sky above the sea of green.

    Just back from a visit with my sis in Santa Cruz (California), where we sat at the far end of the wharf to watch the clouds show off a bit in the early morn before they sailed off, leaving us with a bright blue day.

    Ah, so good to see you back in the Black (and White), Hans ~~ and with a great Foamy splash of nearly touchable texture.

    Ruth, can’t help seeing a gentle Dalmatian in your lacunosus portrait. Sweet.

    Michael, another great display of wind having its way.

    Ruth, there is something very appealing about your Escaping From Snakes with the thin lake snake line of bright water there. Love that one, and your others as well.

    And Hans, Queing is like a heart collecting those wisps in line with the intent to grow even larger. How much love can the sky hold? Will it take bits of all sizes?

    Love your skateboarder, Ruth! Maybe better to ride the waves? This surfer dude duck would find a softer landing (although I do think he’s positioned a bit far back on the board).

    Michael, your most recent two bring flight to mind. Fantastically Feathered!

    Below, a tiny moon is swept away. This was a quite distant shot, so unfortunately, rather pixelated.

    A little devil for sure, Ruth! But I think we’re safely guarded by your barking dog. And if that doesn’t scare him off, the fish might still catch him by his tail and have him for dessert.

    Beautiful iridescence you’ve captured there, Ruth. It makes my toes wiggle when sunlight and clouds play together like that. Also enjoyed seeing your 22˚ halo on the Gallery. The thrill never gets old!

    This Circumhorizon arc was a rare sighting and left me dancing in the street.

    Michael, #195 works just as well in B&W as in color. I love the ambiguity of its shape! And Ruth, your Splash holds the same wonder. Great captures!

    Love your elephants, Ruth! A great capture that does no harm! It’s like catching a cloud fish. No hook or pain involved. This one looks to be ready for something more tasty than a worm.
