Ah ha, you came back again, how wonderful, thank you. This week let us appreciate the full majesty of these transitory beasts we call clouds. Existing in a fleeting moment in which I click the camera and then they are moving and whisping and morphing and gone. Let us decide here and now to loudly object when anyone uses the word ‘just’ in the same breath as the word ‘clouds’!
Oooo, this is such an exciting comment. Thank you Michael. I shall have a lot of fun investigating these. I love it when other people see things differently too. 🙏
Thank you Guy. I do love the things that are so transitory we need to appreciate them in the very moment NOW, or else they are gone. All weather is so good at reminding us of that. I love the haiku… Firma terra….. excellent 🙏❤️
Wonderful Monica. I am not a natural early riser I have to admit. I force myself out of bed because I don’t want to ‘miss’ anything ha ha. I do love going out before there are many people as the world feels so different!

A dragon's arch looms,
Orange fire fades to twilight,
Sea whispers secrets.
Cliff forged by old tales,
Silhouettes against the sky,
Legends breathe and live.
Twilight cradles sea,
Stone gateway to ancient myths,
Night cloaks its old heart.
WOW. I Love this. Thank you Gloria it is beautiful to see what these pictures inspire. ❤
It’s not just the photographs, it’s how you weave your poems to gild the lily.
That honestly delights me 🙏
The ineffable
Stark branches reach toward the sky
Look up at heaven

You have words in your pictures and pictures in your words.
That’s lovely Stan. I like having pictures in my words, thank you🙏❤
There is so much beauty out there!
Incredible isn't it ❤️🙏
Yes! Also, it’s incredible how you capture it so well through your pictures and words!
Wonderful, thank you so much ❤️🙏
Some very lovely clouds here.
My favourite part was definitely this bit at the start:
“Let us decide here and now to loudly object when anyone uses the word ‘just’ in the same breath as the word ‘clouds’!”
Ha ha, yes can you imagine it! You just hold up your hand and say “let me stop you there… have you actually LOOKED at the world lately?”
hola, april.
very beautiful, the movement resting on stillness. the solid a mirage of vapour and light.
(and i've loved taking cloud photos too!)
thank you for sharing the beautiful entanglement of word and image.

where does the eye's light
fall through from above the cloud
to firma terra?
Thank you Guy. I do love the things that are so transitory we need to appreciate them in the very moment NOW, or else they are gone. All weather is so good at reminding us of that. I love the haiku… Firma terra….. excellent 🙏❤️

So inspiring. It makes me want to get up early tomorrow and see if there are any clouds.
