Lot of amorphous action in #187, Michael. Love the mystery there.
Thank you for kind words, Hans, and now I see the flying bird too. I was only familiar with the song by the title The Wind That Shakes The Barley until now, so danke je for the introduction to John Barleycorn. And, of course, I was eager to see what image would accompany your title It’s Eating Something. The question is…what might that be?
A Delish Fish?Ruth, One More January Moon is a bright jewel. Hans, your close up Iridescence is ever so delicious. And Gregory, the frosty feel of your halo with the filigree of tree branches in a supporting role is simply exquisite.
Partial Halo, Full JoyA Water Elephant is just what was needed, Ruth. And how about we invite this fair creature from the land down under?
Elegant EmuSuch beautiful photos from everyone! While I haven’t much opportunity to post to this topic, I always enjoy seeing what everyone’s been sharing. Gregory, your sunset is like the quiet sigh as a good friend slips out of view. Ruth, in the soft blend of hues you captured in Just out My Front Door, I think you caught it at just the perfect moment before those luscious colors would have muddied, and Wine in the Water is an amazing shot. Hans, love the (clever) Moustache, and Leaving At Sunset really looks like that rosy curtain is coming down on the day. Michael, your pinks and blues absolutely shimmer.
I felt lucky to watch as this cloud appeared to release its spirit at the end of the day.
Giving Up The GhostLooks like someone’s heard the welcoming song of your Big White Friendly Whale, Ruth—and he’s bringing along a Nudibranch to join the pod party (and maybe sing some harmony?).
The Whale And The NudibranchPS: Loved seeing your Montana sunrise over the river on the Gallery! What a beautiful start to the day.
Thank you, Gregory, and so good to see you here again with fine photo evidence of why we’re all ‘Hooked’’ on this topic.
Michael, the whole softness of feel with the touch of blue and the shadowed shape to its right makes #123 a real favorite.
Love the dark and light contrast in Just Fluffy, Hans. And a funny (talk about smooth) follow-up by Michael.
Need something to go with your mai tai?
Hula LessonThank you, Hans, and I think you’ve well captured the feel of this topic with the dynamic energy in Accumulating Diversity!
I must also agree about your Cauliflower, Ruth. And even tastier in cloud form than real life, some might say. ;)
Michael, my mind is quite entertained by the positive clouds and negative sky shapes in #184 — or is the + and – reversed? Looking at it either way is fun.
In the photo below, what caught my eye was that lonely little cloud in the lower left corner. I didn’t even see the halo until the image was downloaded. Surprise!
Lonely Little CloudLet It Roll tells it like it will be, Hans! Wherever this volume may take us, I have no doubt it will be a fun sky trek. Love the contrast between the solidness of the solid mountain and the almost ethereal air it breathes in your Glacier shot, Ruth. And Michael, those subtly patterned textures—wow!
Lost In TransformationLove the color and texture in #121, Michael. Would like to take a nap on that blanket of cozy blue. And then do a deep dive into a dream.
Plunge!Enjoyed seeing your queue of Cu made the Gallery’s line-up, Ruth!
And speaking of brothers who enjoy tossing things… Years ago I made a series of colorful pillows stuffed with cedar chips in the shape of fish. They were about 12” long and the idea was to keep them in closets to deter moths. My brother had other ideas. He would keep one on the couch hidden beneath other pillows until some unsuspecting person within range would happen by. You’d hear the cry “FISH!” and in a blur of color, one would come flying across the room…
The Boy Who Cried FishSkeleton Birds was the perfect finale to B&W Vol 17, Hans, with a dramatic, sparkling quality to it. And thank you, Michael, for giving Vol 18 inviting new wings! Can’t wait to see where it will lead us.
Some Distant ShoreThank you, Hans, and I couldn’t agree more about the comfort of images from Michael and Ruth, with Michael’s latest like another soft serenade.
And nice contrast in Borderline?, Hans. To my eye, it brings to mind the initial resistance of sand to sea. I can almost see a reflection of clouds in the remaining wetness of a receding wave, evidence of a little exchange between the solidness of sand and the fluidity of water. On a somewhat related theme, these Cirrus clouds below know how to flow.
