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?
Small-Medium-LargeLove 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).
Waiting For The perfect WaveMichael, 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.
Along For The RideA 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.
Devilly DeliciousBeautiful 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.
Layered DelightMichael, #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!
Just Dropping By For A VisitLove 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.
Delish Dish For A FishThank you, Hans and Ruth. Oh, I could enjoy some splendid dreams on that Colored Airbag, Hans! And Ruth, your Slim and Shy halos are still cause for celebration. And isn’t it a sweet surprise when you’ve been looking down at yard work, then look up to find treats like we’ve been seeing? Even just a touch of iridescence can make my day.
Just A TouchFrank, I think that’s a splendid idea and propose Gavin’s birthday as the calendar day for celebration of clouds. As for getting it established, perhaps someone knows how to go about it?
Finally catching up with this topic and Wow!, what a collection of trails and clever titles. Favorites: Michael’s Albuquerque and Z (mark of Zorro?); Hans’s Undecisive Pilot and Alarming lemniscates as well as that fabulous crow vortex instability; Ruth’s Race You Home and Me and My Shadow.
Caught this one just before the music changed…
Dancing To The Beat Of A Different DrumMichael, #194 is a beautiful bloomin’ wonder!
And Ruth, who wouldn’t give to live there? What a great shot!
Bits Of BrightnessAh, thank you, Ruth! It’s the clouds that deserve the acclamation though, and as is the way with such sightings, I was just lucky to be in the right place at the right moment. Only a couple of days before, this beauty appeared in the late afternoon…
Blowin’ In The WindDanke je, Hans, for your kind compliments! The sky was full of wonderfulness that morning, including this fantastical creature swimming (or perhaps strolling on many, many thin legs?) through the blue.
Sky WandererThank you, Donatella and Hans! I think that colorful arc is just a bit of lens flare, but there was some coronal/iridescence closer to the sun.
Of course, I never look at the sun when taking photos of optical phenomena, just point and shoot in the general direction and hope for the best. So it’s often a surprise to see what shows up.
Here’s another shot from the series, and I’ve just posted yet another to the Looks Like topic for pure amusement.
