Yes indeed, Hans, all are welcome to join the procession! While your Bathing Duck will have clean feathers, the parader below might prefer a mud bath. He was spotted just outside the window on my flight to Kittredge a couple of weeks ago.
Dumbo FlightWarm greetings to all from Colorado, where looking up definitely helps keep me from feeling down while continuing to care-take an ailing sister. It may be just my imagination, but clouds seem to dance a quicker jig across the sky here. They also feel much closer at this Rock Mountain high elevation of 6850′.
As with my previous visit to this tiny town of Kittredge, I’ve had little time to share cloud photos, but have been taking moments whenever possible to savor the images posted to the forum and CAS gallery. Many thanks to all for the spirit refreshers.

Hans, your host of lenticualis over Charigny on the CAS Gallery is exquisite! Love the subtle color and those shapes that make the mind swim. And your Waves at Sunset are a sensuous delight.
Below, what one might see after a whale of a cloud passes by…
PlumeLove the frosted fern appearance of your Cloudscape #300, Michael, and the soft gentle curve of your Lensscape, Hans. And thank you for kind words, Hygge!
Below is from a short series taken while I was in Kittredge. I’ll be heading back there in a couple of days. Fortunately, things are looking up for my sis — as will I be, keeping an eye on those Colorado clouds.
ShadowPlayThat glowing trail would be easy to follow at night, Hans. One might wonder where it would lead. Perhaps to the mysterious landscape Michael has shared above. Or maybe to a quiet moonlit garden?
NightBloomHygge, Cu clouds make me feel younger than my years. I love they way they are one thing one moment and then another in the next with no end to their possible shapeshiftings. Here’s one of my recent favorites in which, just this morning, a bear emerged on the right side looking at branches on the left. Perhaps he sees it as a blueberry bush?
Snack Time?And Hans has added poetry to the mix as well as some cool jazz. Oh I do like this new path!
Hiking The Cloud TrailThank you, Hans! Like you and likely like others, I cannot “like” recent gallery images either. No doubt the glitch will soon be worked out by those who know how to fix.
Meanwhile below, another image from Colorado skies. Can you see the fellow who has closed an eye, savoring the radiant arc of halo that lights his cheek?
Basking In The GlowJust a quick note to say thank you, Hygge, for this very appealing topic with intriguing examples from both you and Michael. I’ll look through the archives here and hope to find some images to contribute soon.
Special indeed, Michael — a fantastic series of HV! Holding steady as you must have done to witness such a remarkable event, it makes me wonder if the clouds were using you as the stake for a game of horseshoe tossing. Thank you for sharing these with us here. They reminded me of an odd little cloud formation I caught in Colorado. Both the upper squiggle and its blurry “reflection” slowly dissipated as I watched in wonder.
(And this is when the paredolia kicks in… Now I see a baby elephant in the upper left corner who must have dropped something and is now trotting back to retrieve it from the pond.)
A wonderfully soft fabric feel to your Arizona B&W#824, Michael. And I agree completely about spending more time pursuing activities that inspire (e.g., breathing in the beauty of clouds). Hans, gives us a perfect example of what one might catch by doing so. Glad that one didn’t get away, Hans!
