Nice, Michael! Very painterly.
Looking through an archive of Colorado skies, I came across this one and was amazed at how clearly I recall the very moment of stopping to look up and appreciate the unfolding drama.
It would seem those “thingy” clouds have a propensity for showing up here, Hans! A common subcategory is what I like to call Cumulus creatura. Below, yet another one that could have come from ‘neath the sofa.
And thank you… Okay so far in California, and I hope you are as well in Holland, along with everyone everywhere we hold dear. Cloud-A-Day, CAS’s Gallery, and this Forum with the kind and encouraging exchanges we’ve come to know here, are highlights in each day. Many thanks to all for sharing visions and comments that continue to inspire.
Dust MousieA fine feather for your cap, Don! And a magical murmuration, Michael. Both images lift my spirits.
Below, this one reminds me of dandelion seeds sailing on a Spring breeze just as I reach to weed them.
Spring SailLove that lidded look in Someone Is Watching, Hans, and the cloud curtain it’s peeking through too. Wonderful patterning there, and also in your #805, Michael. Very dynamic.
Like a giant jellyfish in a sea of sky, this swam past without a sound.
Silent SwimmerFantastic texture, Michael! What a capture.
There was a bit of iridescence in the original photo of the image below, but I like the way black and white highlights the cloud’s form without the distraction of color.
Love the vision your #320 inspires, Michael — relaxing in a soft, hammock cloud with the moon above. Your Streakyscape adds to it, Hans, with a sense of swaying motion. Ah, yes, I could just lie there and wait to see what the clouds do next.
What Are They Up To Now?Love that sense of a brighter vista nearly within reach, Hans. It’s a vision that inspires!
Night LightPS: And congratulations on your lovely Altocumulus over Bloemendaal posted to CAS Gallery today!
Beautiful images, Michael! Arizona #802 is especially… WOW!
In the photo below, one might imagine the tree had been used as a brush to create this speckled, painterly sky.
Speckled SkyscapeFrom silky to scrunchy (and everything in between!), the variety of cloud textures seems endless. Here’s one whose texture appears rough, while the form reminds me of a sting ray enjoying a sinuous glide through a sea of dark sky.
Thank you sharing your walk with us, Daniel! Third in your series reminds me of living in the beautiful, fresh Pacific Northwet (an affectionate reference) several years ago. Last week we welcomed some of that much needed moisturizer down here in California.
Wow, Daniel, I can see why that was an unforgettable day! Makes up for the pure blues, eh? We’ve had a few days of tumbling cumulous lately, so afternoon walks through the neighborhood have been extra fun. Even had a bit of rain, which is always welcome here.
