Very sorry to hear you’re tasting toasted clouds there, Michael. Is your home at a safe distance from the fires? Everything is still quite parched here, and I can imagine it may be even more so there. I hope a good drink of rainwater will arrive sooner than soon for you.
Thirst QuencherSleep and dreams come easily to mind with the three images above. Michael, your #189 beckons like the softest bed, and Hans, your Djinn could find a role to play in any dreamscape while my noggin rests quite comfortably on that fine down pillow, Ruth. What adventures could be had! The trick would be to linger upon awakening and try to remember it all without too much distortion.
The Challenge Of Dream RecallAnother beautiful Study In Blue, Hans. That blush of pink adds the perfect highlight. And what a remarkable catch, Michael! A fantastic, layered delight.
Still very little in the way of cloud activity here. This one has been sitting in the archives. Or was left it the dryer?
WrinkledLove the wild exuberance in your #912, Michael. There’s a distinctly joyous feel to it.*
Below, something more sedate.
Pastel ImpressionsPS: *and, naturally pareidolia-primed, I see a face filled with delight—the kind of expression that comes with a warm hug.
Thank you, Ruth, for caring words. Some vineyards were totally destroyed, while others fortunately survived. Still more could use some good luck these days.
Those Goldfish do look tasty!
How To Hang A HorseshoeA Whisper evokes such a beautiful, gentle feeling, Ruth.
And what a fantastic view that cloud must have, Hans. Great drama in how you’ve presented it here for all to enjoy. And I couldn’t agree with you more about the freedom we’re offered here on the CAS forum. Was it Michael who first mentioned the idea of exploring color-inverted photos? Below is an example where both images maintain their cloudy qualities, but offer different dimensional perspectives.
One WayAnd AnotherLove the frothiness of your #188, Michael. And that looks like the start of a very promising day, Lisa.
Hans, fun to see your beautiful Quill Pen both here and in color on the Gallery! It is just what this cloud fellow below would need to record his lofty visions.
Pileus DreamsLove the dash of color flavor in your Mint Julip, Ruth. And beautiful blues in your Cloudstudy, Hans.
That June flight was indeed a west-bound/homeward return from Denver. I was so fortunate to have a window seat. No in-flight movie could have competed with the spectacular (free!) cloud show below. Here’s another from the same flight passing over snow dusted mountains.
Snow BelowThank you for your kind words, Lisa, and so nice to see you here again. Your lovely photo inspires— literally! I am breathing in the beauty of it.
And Michael, your B&W#186 makes me want to be the bird and go soaring through that beckoning cloudscape.
Below, this one just makes me sleepy…
LullabyBeautiful photo, Michael, with the composition so perfectly balanced.
Below, another from the archives, taken last year over Colorado.
Homeward BoundIndeed, Michael! We are so lucky to have this forum with the international friendships it fosters and the respite it offers in the midst of such chaotic times. Grateful to all!
What I like in the image below is its painterly quality which became enhanced once converted to B&W. In the original photo, it’s a rather unremarkable, mostly blue sky, and what appears to be the moon is actually a round cloud.
The Painterly MoonIndeed, Hans, we could use a downpour! Meanwhile, the clouds above (here on the forum, that is) bring some sweet solace. As smokey, cloudless skies continue here, I’ve been diving into the archives and found a memory of the last time I had a much closer view of celestial friends.
June Flight, 2019And then there’s this poor fellow who appears to have dropped a coin into a cloud hole and…
Lost His Last DimePS: Love your playful pup on the Gallery this morning, Hans. At first, I did not see him clearly, but viewed at a smaller size, he just about jumped off the screen!
