Patricia L KeelinParticipantA sensuous, rosy launch, Hans. And followed by Ruth’s honey-colored glow and Michael’s gentle blush on blue, this is a beautiful start to Volume VIII.
Morning Has Broken
Patricia L KeelinParticipantMagic matched with the spectacular specter you’ve captured, Richard! And your idea of seeing clouds as think tank emanations has great appeal. Who knows what will the sky will come up with next?
And Hans, you’ve found it! The spirit of Dodo — a wonder to behold! In fact, what you’ve got there quite resembles some of the anatomical illustrations in one of my favorite books: Dodo: A Brief History by Errol Fuller. Lovely!
Still, how sad that some creatures have gone the way of that sweet odd bird. Here’s another that roams only the skies now too.

Sauntering Stegosaurus
Patricia L KeelinParticipantSo pretty are the pinks you’ve captured, Michael. And it looks like it’s already time to put volume VII to bed. What a collection gathered here! I must confess to returning for another sip of Ruth’s Wine In The Water; Michael’s #702 & 719; and Hans’s Purples and Mirrored, but along the way, I re-enjoy each and everyone’s contributions. Many thanks to everyone: Ruth, Hans, Michael, Gregory, Sheryl, Philip, Donatella, Hygge.
Can’t wait to see what morning brings.
Nighty-Night
Patricia L KeelinParticipantThanks, Michael! I’d ever seen the clouds so rough-looking. Your #192 is more like something I could enjoy the warm comfort of. Love the subtle form there, as if something is nestled beneath (or I suppose that would actually be above) the covering.
Cloud Egg Hatchling
Patricia L KeelinParticipantAh, danke je, Hans, for sharing in the fun and anticipation of what’s to come in this topic of wonders.
And you’ve captured exactly what I looked like in An Amazed Face after tilting my head while gazing at this unusual cloud shape…

Low and behold (and with a twist and a tweak of contrast), guess who’s there! If it isn’t our old friend…. looking like his mischievous self and as if he’s been cavorting through rainbows.
Patricia L KeelinParticipantThank you, Michael and Hans. Can’t wait to see what surprises are in store for us here in this new volume.
Love the sleek look of those saucers, Michael, and the smooth sweep of that Big Wipe, Hans.
And now for a little texture…
Sheer Shearing
Patricia L KeelinParticipantWhatever they were thinking in there, Richard, it looks like it was pretty exciting!
There’s thinking, of course, and then there’s dreaming. And sometimes those dreams take flight! See Clouds That Look Like Things, Volume V for the continuing story.
Wild Horse Dreams
Patricia L KeelinParticipantSo many new beauties here from Hans, Ruth, and Michael since I last posted to this topic back in May. I continue to revisit many of them, taking more than a moment to breathe in the beauty of each one. And I thank you all for adding a sweet serenity to those intentional pauses in my day. Finally caught this lovely sunset yesterday evening.
Sunset Bloom
Patricia L KeelinParticipantGreat patterns in your latest photos, Michael and Richard.
Floccus In Bloom
Patricia L KeelinParticipantMichael, love the dance moves of those soft, wispy clouds in #112, and the variety of moods in your latest three.
And Ruth, that looks like a gentle start to the day there.
Today we’ve had an influx of floccus,pretty much covering the entire sky at times.
Fields Of Floccus
Patricia L KeelinParticipantThanks, Ruth! Hope the skies soon clear for you there. The extreme heat makes everyone so nervous these days. I’m with you (and Wanda!) wishing to jump into something cooler.
Richard, I can see a dragon forming in your Smoke Signals. Is someone dreaming him up?
Pileus Dreams(the B&W image above is color reversed from the original)
Patricia L KeelinParticipantHans, I love that sweep of clouds, dark to light in Ominous and that hint of color in Before Sunset. Beautiful.
Richard, I feel as if I can see for miles in your Willamette Valley view, and
your latest is simply grand.Ruth, no surprise your Heading Home was added to the Gallery. I can almost feel the quiet there. Hope you made it to shelter before your latest one let loose!
Donnatella, your Cloudscapes is like a splendid and magical sneak peek at a city of clouds beyond our normal view.
Over the past couple of days, we’ve finally seen some clouds roll in!
Long Awaited Arrival
Patricia L KeelinParticipantIndeed there are beauties aplenty from many above, including your latest, Hans. Spilled Milk looks as if it’s still in motion. And congratulations on your sunset shot from Charigny being chosen as Thursday’s Cloud of the Day. Oh la la!

Patricia L KeelinParticipantThanks for that bit of fun, Laurence. And yes, even someone with their head in the clouds can still score 5/5! ;)
Patricia L KeelinParticipantA beautiful breeze in #210, Michael! Maybe that’s what shepherded in this surprise yesterday.
