Nice floating feeling in #717, Michael. And as usual, your fine touch with the grey scales is evident.

Ruth, I’m amazed at the shapes of bright cloud above and water below being such a near match in It’s The Water—a lovely scene there.

Hans, where did you go to take that shot of the moon?! Amazing!

And back to ‘scales’ with Ruth’s most recent photo…

Thank you for a beautiful launch to Volume VII, Michael! And so right you are about the images in Volume 6 which wrapped up with a not-to-be-missed ‘Color Glimpse’ by Hans.

Below, this twilight scene almost seems to feature two suns. Hmmm… what planet was I on?

Thank you, Laurence! Some beautiful photos there. Did you have a favorite? The quiet fog of November kept me lingering long, although October also magnetic its appeal.

What a stunning Opening, Hans, with that splash of gold adding a luxurious accent. And I’m in full agreement with your comments and compliments on recent photos above—each one adding to the fun, wonder and beauty of this topic’s offerings.

The start of a new year always inspires a look at what’s still here but really needs to go. Time for some interior weeding and a dust-bunny roundup.

Thank you, Laurence! What a fantastic photo and hopeful feeling delivered!

Thanks for launch, Hans, and what a fun start to Volume V! I’ve just had a stroll through Vol IV to once again appreciate the wild ride and contrail contributions of our cloud colleagues. Your Smoke Signal was one of the best ever and we’ll be watching for more.

Thank you, Hans, for compliments and well wishes, and for your dramatic Red And Blue. Interesting to find similar colors in a completely different and lovely layout in Ruth’s Breakthrough, while Michael and Gregory add nicely to the collection.

Thanks, Ruth! Yes, it was a fun surprise to see such a bright display right over a neighbor’s roof. Just goes to show you never know what’s there until you glance up—from a Junk Yard Dog to this fellow below. His startled look gives me the feeling he’s just realized the source of that feather in his cap.

Love those soft, pretty colors (and your clever title) in Yellow Belly, Ruth.

Here one is from last month. It looked like even the sky got into decorating for the holidays.

Thanks, Michael for the annual NYD launch. Sorry I’ve no image to share, and sympathize with you, Laurence. Each time I stepped out yesterday, it was featureless here too, but all blue on blue. We missed even a mist! Be that as it may, I look forward to seeing what others have seen. Like your lovely mares’ tails, Lisa. May 2021 bring a skyful of wonder and a heartful of health and well-being to all.

A Glimpse is quite a tease, Hans. I’d like to go there and explore that mysterious landscape. I’m also drawn to your Flames and to Michael’s #715 as well.

The photo below immediately begged its title. And then I saw the pup and it somehow seemed an even better fit.

Does It Still Itch?

Michael your #612 is a breathtaking beauty! And thank you for the fine feast of delights above, Ruth and Gregory.

One paint chip catalogue gives the color of the bright swath below an interesting name…

You did much better than I with that little tongue twister, Gregory. And lucky, indeed, to catch that horseshoe the clouds tossed you way. Worth an early rise!

And Ruth, when I saw the title of your photo in the posting notification email, I had to smile knowing you would treat us again to something fun. Definitely one cool pig!

Thank you so much for this info, Les! I share your excitement with “all things optical” and look forward to ordering the recommended book ASAP.

By the way, I noticed (via the Color thread this morning) that Hans mentioned he’s been wanting to reply to you directly here, but keeps encountering a glitch when attempting to post to this thread. Hopefully, soon fixed!
