Indeed, Ruth, it is as Hans has said. There’s as much room here for all cloud creatures as there is in the sky. Your lovely rat is most welcome. As is your Flying Girl with Long Hair — and it looks like she flew right into today’s Gallery line up as well. Congratulations on catching her mid-flight.
Hans, there was no doubt in my mind you’d recognize our old buddy Billy G even though it’s been awhile. And I hope that beauty that Oops Swam Away returns as well.
As for what Billy’s might be chewing on, I don’t think it’s what the character below appears to be making such a face about.
Not A Fan Of Dried Parsley
My eyes enjoy swimming through those cool, luscious blues in #118, Michael.
And Ruth, I like the subtle colors in Solo. I imagine you looking skyward while the pilot looks earthward, each enjoying the view.
There’s something about the light in the photo below that reminds me of the way the bedroom curtain would billow out on a gentle breeze during the afternoon naps I took as a child..
Lullaby Of LightAlmost Black and White is a gorgeous photo, Ruth, with just a breath of color adding to its richness, and you’ve contributed a stunning beauty on the gallery today.
I am definitely seeing double in An Abstract Fight, Hans. It is downright trippy and gave me a bit of vertigo as if I were viewing a scene from an upper tree branch looking down on not one but two squirrels who seem to be eyeing a cat in the lower left corner. That shape in the upper third turned into a fellow who might have gone out to rescue his cat up a tree only to witness the unfolding confrontation. What a scene!
Could this be the tail of the tale?
The Startle ReflexFinally catching up with the recent colorful postings here. Looks like you’ve all been ‘lucky’ gazing upwards from your various locations.
Hans, I think your HV would work well for a game of celestial croquet, while Undefined is easily beyond words in its other worldly beauty.
Michael, I get the feeling of a flying snowball in #115. Could it have come all the way from Ruth’s snowy scene? Also loved your sun-blushed virgo, Ruth. And then there’s the low Mama from Hans. Wouldn’t hurt to be hit by one of those, but wowa!
A morning sky below, with the sun looking rather moonlike and sporting a very soft halo.
Morning Moonlike SunThere’s something magical in the texture of #734, Michael. It almost seems to animate. And I love the softness that follow from you, Hans and Ruth.
It Has A Tail is very funny, Hans. It prompts a title for this one.
…And Then He Fell In Completely
PS: Glad to see your Eagle flew onto the Gallery, Hans!
Ah! Just now seeing your Bold Headed Eagle, Hans. That Kelvin casts an impressive shadow — a beautiful photo!
“Do you see yonder cloud that’s almost in shape of a camel?” (lower right corner)
How about that other creature backed like a weasel? (upper left corner)
They were almost quite something other only moments later…
Ah, that spell that spellcheck casts upon us is such a bit of mischief, Hans! But it does, at least sometimes, give us a good laugh.
And here’s another bit of mischief… Could it be a right peg-legged, foxy character (missing a left peg)? He may be displaying an empty, turned-out pocket, but he’s probably got something up his sleeve, hidden behind his back, of course. The sly fellow!
Foxy Fellow
Ah, thank you Hans and Ruth! I should like to have that fox’s dream.
Hans: While Ruth and I are having great fun on this topic, I hope it’s not long before your parabolic vision returns so you can join us again. I very much miss your playful postings here. May new cloud ‘thingys’ find their way to your eye sooner than soon.
Cloud Cloudspotters Waiting For Something To Take ShapeThank you for the fine book suggestion, Hygge. Just recently, I came across the website of Zaria Forman: https://www.zariaforman.com. Perhaps you are familiar with this amazing and dedicated artist? She documents climate change with a heart moving urgency through her stunningly beautiful pastel drawings of magnificent storm clouds, melting ice bergs and rising seas. Many of her works are viewable on the website, which includes a link to her excellent Ted Talk: Drawings that show the beauty and fragility of Earth (10 min). She notes that she always uses her fingers and palms to create these works of wonder. I would say that she is clearly using her heart as well. A quote from her talk: “My drawings celebrate the beauty of what we all stand to lose.”
Thanks for announcing the winner here, Laurence. A new season is indeed on its way. I’m not sure why my iPhone camera gives the sky here the look of a watercolor painting, but it makes a fine backdrop for the light Spring green of budding tree leaves. All best wishes to you as well!
Thank you, Laurence! You are right, it’s not easy to choose, but “Little rainbow under a big cloud” claimed my vote, while Winter wonderland in the Scottish highlands gave a good hard tug.
