Cloudscapes

Everyday brought something to be admired: the soft feathery patterns of cirrus clouds, the deep, dark grays of thunderheads, the lacy gold and peach of the early morning sunrise. The sky and its moods called to me.
~L. Jagi Lamplighter


It's surprising, given how much I like clouds, that I haven't featured them before. Remedying that omission now!

I've taken so many pictures of clouds. Our Colorado skies seem to offer a variety! These are gorgeous, & that cloud-repair poem-wow! Each part is a beautiful imagining: "back stage steam machines
for accumulating cumulus," Thanks, Tabatha, off to today to watch clouds!

I love clouds, too. And totally enjoyed watching Bob Ross create his Happy Little Clouds. :-D

Glad you got around to featuring clouds, Tabatha. Just how many of us have played the "What Do You See in Clouds" game? I'd say it is almost a universal pastime.

These examples are great and I must admit to being "mesmerized" once again watching Bob Ross's magic. :-)
