Thank you, Laurence, for your kind and caring thoughts. Feeling so fortunate to be in a safe area and able to help others in need. I keep imagining how healthy and vibrant the earth, oceans and sky would be if we put our hearts and energies into protecting it. Seeing the beauty of clouds here on the CAS forum, the countless colors and infinite shapes they take on as they dance around the world we share, is a daily infusion of bright hope for a more peaceful planet and people.
cloud lovers we are
mesmerized by their beauty
always looking upBeautiful displays above, Ruth and Michael! Here is one that has been hiding awhile in the archives.
Just A DollopAlways, Ruth, especially for your very cute Schnauzer! And there’s room for even more. Apparently, the heavens have provided an escape route and safe haven for the two lucky creatures below.
Neither Escargot Nor Cooked GooseThank you, Laurence! Those are ten beautiful photographs. Alas, being outside the UK, I could not cast an official vote. Were I able, my choice would be the fogbow over the sea. The serenity and freshness of it is so appealing, especially these days with fires burning up the western states here. The sky has been a featureless, yellow-ash-grey for weeks now, deeply disquieting and disheartening. So grateful for all the firefighters who demonstrate bravery beyond words, and also for the generosity of CAS and its forum members whose sharing never fails to uplift the spirit!
And, indeed, the most welcomed illumination to dawn within a dream, Lisa! Your halo photo is a lovely symbol of its transitional impetus. Just imagine the moment it shines a light on…
Day ResidueMicheal, B&W#176 is compellingly strange (in a good way) like hypnagogic imagery. Where would that dream go from here? I can only imagine! And I see the synapses firing in your next photo.
Now to dream of the sea ~~~
Against The TideSurf’s up for your ghost, Dave, with a spirited wild ride! And Ruth, can I order a pair of cloud boots like the one you posted? They’d have me singing a new tune like Hans’s Cheerful Bird. I suppose I could add them to my Wish List for Santa, but it might be too late to start behaving. For some of us, it’s a challenge! Like the wee dragon below who appears to be getting a fiery parental lecture and…
A Little Time OutCatching up with the potpourri above feels like a nice bit of virtual travel. Speaking of which (and scrolling back a bit), rest assured, Hans, there’s no need to worry about Cthulhu. Rumor has it he’s in a mellow mood now, having just returned from a relaxing little get-away.
Mini VacationWonderful images above! Love Unrest—and all the rest. What next might we see?
Misty Mystical ManifestationsA beautiful blue in your AZ Color#900, Michael. And I like your description of it, Hans, followed by Fluffy And Bulbous, which looks as if it would stay aloft even on the gentlest of breezes.
DriftingsPS: Nice to see the variation of your Winged Horizon on the Gallery this morning, Hans. Congratulations!
Love your redheaded sunbather, Hans, though, to my eye, he looks a bit startled at that approaching shark-shape. And, thanks to your vivid description, I now see two very different maidens at Michael’s Waterfall. Do you see the long-haired blond figure in the upper, left corner, arms below her shoulders obscured lost in shadow? More amusing is your vision which gave me a good giggle. How could I have missed her?!
Here’s someone else having fun in the water…
Doin’ The Dog PaddleIndeed, room for all, Ruth, including your gently hued Giraffe and Hans’s Lizard, who looks to be enjoying a good shower. And speaking of such wonders, who is that mysterious maiden at the waterfall, Michael? Her image appears as if from a dream. How refreshing ‘twould be to stand ‘neath Nature’s cascade. Well, I suppose one can still imagine…
Shower Head~~~ Wow!! Love the recent additions to this fantastic wild ride that Michael and Hans keep rolling. Beautiful drama captured, Dave, (positively enhanced by the B&W/Sepia tones), and a mesmerizing video, Frank.
As Michael notes, witnessing Asperitas events brings a special feeling (like an “E-Ticket Ride” at Disneyland back in the ’50s!). I must add that even just seeing them online here brings delight to the day. So many thanks to all contributors above for sharing.
Ah, Ruth, that is a lovely Light! And the coolness of the scene is so welcomed at this moment. Thank you, too, for well wishes. Still outside the evacuation zone here, but air and ash are a potent reminder of what’s too close for comfort. Feeling deeply for those who are nearer to the flames and must be overwhelmed with familiar anxieties.
Another cool comfort is your Wavy Vagueness, Hans—and your fun reply. What?! You say there are also imaginary numbers?! Something like that afterimage cloud I ‘saw’ recently? The idea alone creates a strange sensation in my noggin, like a subtle pressure system building, causing the cloud of a wild thought to form. It just goes to show the mind is as unbound as the sky, creating combinations that baffle and bewilder, illuminate and inspire. And yes, the Escher ants! I believe I’ve seen their loopiness in real life. And oh, the memory (half a century ago!) of möbius notes passed surreptitiously in high school (…they kissed and then…). The repeated curls of Kelvin-Helmholtz come to mind, although, and alas, they fade in no time.
Meanwhile, there is this alway room (and time) for more…
