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.

The Problem With Plucked Plumage

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!

[Patricia L Keelin]

Thank you, Michael, and gratitude to everyone for the joy and warm camaraderie we continue to share here. Wishing moments of magical wonderment, light and peace to all!

[Patricia L Keelin]

Wonderful photos above from above, Hans. Michael, Ruth, Gregory!

One night prior to the greatly anticipated conjunction of Saturn+Jupiter 2020, this cloud fellow was apparently already waiting and ready for a kiss. Actually hadn’t noticed him until I downloaded the photo.

It’s Just A Kiss Away

Is that you, Blitzen?

[Patricia L Keelin]

Oh delicious! And such a fluffy crust!

[Patricia L Keelin]

Steven, Ruth, Gregory, Hans: WOW x>4! Your latest offerings make a wildly beautiful and delicious collection. And kudos to Hans for today’s featured Cloud of the Day!

Below, perhaps a heavenly princess wearing a peach chiffon gown was in a hurry to get home to her castle in the clouds? Alas!

Snagged

 

[Patricia L Keelin]

Thanks, Michael! I must say, your #712 looks delicious! In #713, it appears the clouds are being pushed to the right by a very determined wind. Nice tension in that one.

Below, perhaps a bit too much tension…

Snapped

[Patricia L Keelin]

While the cloud below is not a precise fit for what swam out of Zorro No Tonto, Ruth, who knows what it might look like when it comes around again?

Oh Hans, I love these dramatic photos of yours by the Sea! I can almost feel the sand in my teeth.

Some similar colors below from across the pond with winds wisping up a bit of gray cloud. Or is that a bit of the hair on my head?
