Thank you for launching Volume X with such a great photo, Michael. I keep waiting to see if some clouds will fall through that gap. Love the sense of anticipation. Wait a minute… maybe they did (#102)!

And with Hans’s Footsteps In The Snow and Ruth’s Box of Crayons, it looks like we’re off to a fun start.

Michael, I see something playful in #719. Perhaps something to romp along Ruth’s beach?

Meanwhile, the Leafy Sea Dragon, recently posted to the ‘Clouds-that-look-like-things Volume IV’ topic, found its way here in new form, courtesy of the capricious wind.

It’s written that Leafy Sea Dragons may live up to ten years in the wild, but alas, this one was swept away by a capricious wind to become, well, something else* in form, though not in essence.

Thank you, Laurence! As if there weren’t already enough reasons to want to visit Scotland. ;)

Thank you, Gregory! Love the atmospheric impressions in Down to the Ground. I can almost feel the cool dampness of fog and breathe in the aroma of wintery wet leaves.

Maybe no ducks in your latest, Ruth, but a lovely, peaceful photo. I can almost hear the quiet there too.

While I don’t see any feathered friends in the ‘window view’ (to borrow Ruth’s earlier phrase) in the photo below either, perhaps they’ll fly their way into the next volume? Thanks to everyone for all the beauty shared in the collection above.

Michael, heading into the mouth of Puff or gazing into a crystal ball, #718 is an intriguing swirl of wonder.

And that Threesome of yours, Hans, looks to be heading somewhere as well. If they travel the shoreline, best keep at least one eye on the sea.

Those trees provide the perfect frame for your lovely view, Ruth.

And would love to escape to your sky/seascape, Hans. Wouldn’t even mind getting wet there.

Needing rain here, but ’twas not to be had on the day of the photo below. Yet how could one not feel glorious with the clouds lit up and the moon still up, keeping a sleepy eye on us all?

Michael, I can’t help but see the large head of a sketchy fellow contemplating a tiny drop of moon in #501. A wonderful composition.

Ruth and Hans, it looks like you’ve caught the contrails on some kind of mission. This one below appears to have run into some interference.

Might Be Late Getting There

Hans, it looks like there was no gravity on whatever planet you visited capture Purples. What a gorgeous vision!

And Gregory, I think your fine Fiery Fringes traveled some distance only to become snagged on a tree here.

Time For A New Toothbrush?

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…

Puff’s Pelt?

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.

[Patricia L Keelin]

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.
