Finally 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.
Thanks, Michael and Hans! Great textures and formations from both of you above.
Not that I have one, but I can just imagine what a new puppy might think…
Oh boy! Home alone! Thank you, John! I like to think I might become a bit of colorful icy crystal in one of these bright wonders…at some (hopefully distant) point in the future. ;)
Thank you, Ruth! Your Soccer Anyone captures the spirit of play well.
Below, it looks to me like an arctic fox might be dreaming about accepting your invitation. Or perhaps he is simply…
Dreaming Of The Midnight SunMichael, if every picture tells a story, I’m all ears to hear the one that goes with Arizona B&W730. Regardless of what I happen to see with my own imagination*, the textures you’ve captured are exquisite!
Below, another story of… what? A missed connection? A jilted bride? So many possible tales the clouds may tell.
A Story In The Making* Is that some large curious creature leaning in for a close inspection of someone trying to sneak away?
