Love in a Mist

Algernon Charles Swinburne

27th September 2011

a WOMAN coming to birth,afloat in mesmerizing cloudlike liquiform....or does it reflect heaven?....who ,despite the seemingly endless struggle,mysteriously conceal the impending and the...unevitable....SHE shall triumph soonover the hypocritical and vicious world,and the wicked spirits and its cohort victims....the pretentiously harmless hounding dogs of this carnal world.

Cloud 9, nothin better than a good swaddle and a cozy blanket

Row of willow trees pruned like fluffy clouds in Tuntorp, Brastad, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden.

The Lagoon Nebula (catalogued as Messier 8 or M8, and as NGC 6523) is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and as an H II region.

The Lagoon Nebula was discovered by Guillaume Le Gentil in 1747 and is one of only two star-forming nebulae faintly visible to the naked eye from mid-northern latitudes. Seen with binoculars, it appears as a distinct oval cloudlike patch with a definite core. A fragile star cluster appears superimposed on it. (Exposure: 5min; RGB 100💯100)

beaten to cloudlike consistency.

James Dunn, a San Francisco architect, designs in San Francisco are legendary capturing the essence of those on the Paris boulevards with cloudlike facades, slender wrought iron balconies, Rudolph Valentino was said to live in the penthouse for entertaining celebrities during their stay in the city. When the owner's diva rejected him, he turned the entire building into a bordello. This one was built in 1913 and there are a few others remaining the in City.

Claudel transformed her Little Lady to create this image of Aurora, the ancient Roman goddess of the dawn. She cleverly replaced the hair wit a cloudlike mass that spirals around the face, perhaps alluding to morning mist, The effect of softness achieved in this marble attests to Claudel's carving skills."

with their puffy, cloudlike bodies, i'm sure our new alien overlords will be both fair and balanced. in their killing, that is.

We’ve seen pendant lamps that mimic the serenity of clouds in the kind of polystyrene puffs and even an electronic gadget that mixes liquid nitrogen and hot water to create actual clouds indoors. But a new 1 dubbed Proplamp is a huggable, crushable hanging lamp that you can custom-form in a...

Object 1: Waterpot (Suichū)

Japan

ca. 1850–60s

"This modern-looking waterpot is decorated with whirlpool motifs applied in colorful overglazes; further embellishments include cloudlike patterns and stylized snowflake-shaped motifs. These likely appealed to Moore, whose work features spirals, clouds, and abstracted floral motifs."

Some ice on the ground outside our apartment that looked a little like clouds in a dark sky

Driving down Hwy 309 South off of Mt Magazine, cloudlike fog was rising from the trees below and thick, massive beautiful striations of clouds formed along Ouachita Range peaks in the distance. It's cliche, but this picture truly does not do the scene justice.

The Lagoon Nebula (catalogued as Messier 8 or M8, NGC 6523, Sharpless 25, RCW 146, and Gum 72) is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and as an H II region. The Lagoon Nebula was discovered by Giovanni Hodierna before 1654 and is one of only two star-forming nebulae faintly visible to the eye from mid-northern latitudes. Seen with binoculars, it appears as a distinct oval cloudlike patch with a definite core. Within the nebula is the open cluster NGC 6530.

Notice the cloudlike area below the mountain peak. This was our first view of Grewingk Glacier, one of our reasons for the hike. This seculded glacier, which could only be reached by hiking the trail, was still over a half mile down the other side of the ridge.

RHS Wisley Gardens in Surrey.

On what was undoubtedly the hottest day of the year, we went to their annual Plant Fair. We came away with a few bulbs and lots of ideas.

The gardens were looking gorgeous. Lots of flowers, especially up Battleston Hill ... the Prairie garden, grasses and heather beds were exuberant. The Exotic garden looked lush. The newly refurbished Alpine house is now open, as is the Orchid area in the main glasshouse. The new lake has been unfenced.

Muhlenbergia is a genus of plants in the grass family Poaceae.

The genus is named in honour of the German-American amateur botanist Gotthilf Heinrich Ernst Muhlenberg (1753-1815). Many of the species are known by the common name muhly. The greatest number are native to the southwestern United States and Mexico, but there are also native species in Canada, Central and South America and in Asia.

Muhlenbergia capillaris, commonly known as the hairawn muhly, is a perennial sedge-like plant. The plant forms a double layer ... green leaves surround the understory, and purple-pink flowers outgrow them from the bottom up.

It is a warm-season grass, meaning that leaves begin growth in the summer. During the summer, the leaves stay green, but they turn during the autumn to a more copper colour. The seasonal changes also include the flowers, as they grow out during the fall and stay healthy till the end of autumn.

The muhly grows along the border of roads and on plain prairies. The grass clumps into herds, causing bush-like establishments in the area the hairawn muhly inhabits. The flowers are very feathery and add a cloudlike appearance to the top of the grass. It is native to eastern North America and can be used for a multitude of purposes, including ornamental gardening and farming. It was voted 2012 plant of the year by the Garden Club of America.
