Clouds over downtown Miami

Difficult conditions as I headed up the North West coast of Scotland.

Sky

After a couple of days with thunderstorms and torrential rain we had one nice day with agreeable temperatures and lovely photogenic clouds. Meanwhile the sky is perfectly blue and quite boring again and it's getting warmer and warmer. The capture was taken on the fields near the place where I live.

Can't decide which of the two I like best.

Cloud Whispers

Clouds of change over Michigan fields.

Sometimes my glasses catch rainbow colors coming off clouds that aren't really there. Something to do with the optics. These really were there and visible to the camera obviously...

Coming back from a hike, we found ourselves in this passage where a surprising cloud appeared, with strong wind and pouring rain.

Shortly after it rained.

I've been very inspired by many of your artistic floral aromatic images the past month, and soon early Springs seasonal perfume will arouse every nose as bold colours will surely decorate our cities and landscapes.

But it's also cloud season again on the prairies, where on any given day the skies will excite with patterns and density, idyllic or brooding, vacant pure blue or lonely grey. I hope to capture my share of clouds, for yes "It's life's illusions I recall."

BOTH SIDES NOW by Joni Mitchell

"I've looked at clouds from both sides now,

From up and down, and still somehow

It's cloud illusions I recall.

I really don't know clouds at all."

"All summer, we watched the sky, and whenever

our wheat needed rain, the popcorn clouds got out

of the way for the fat, grey-bellied ones that knew

how to rain."
