  1. And I just came from Amanda, looking for inspiration and revelations in these clouds too. Happy New Year, dear friend.

  2. Happy New Year Rosaria and may you, and all our young friends, keep the faculty of keeping their heads, some of the time, in the clouds.

  5. I may also break into a Joni Mitchell song. It's an appropriate one for me anyway.

  6. So beautiful! I especially like the second one down from the top, and the clouds in the fourth one down look like they're dancing!

  7. Jenny, sing your heart out if you feel like it.
    Paul, Why would not clouds dance? They are cosmic creatures after all.

  8. I love the rainbow. I've never been able to catch one of those.

  9. It was pure luck, Sled, I saw it through the window, grabbed my camera, ran outside and shot with a minimum of aiming, since I did not want a coming bus to block the view. A rainbow is a very evanescent thing.

  10. Beautiful pictures. And you were lucky to have clouds in Spain, in August!

  11. Hi Paul,
    Lovely collections of clouds, surely the stuff feeding imagination.
    I liked the misty Eastman, Quebec where the clouds seem to be comforting the water.

  12. MoR, Mijas Alta is way up in the Sierra Nevada and the sun shone all day; these clouds hugged the highest peaks but stayed clear of the village itself. I used a zoom to have a clearer view of them.
    Cheri, it was rainy and on the cool side that day, the lake water was warmer than the surface air hence the mist that rose from it. Forget that, it spoils the romance.

  13. Paul, ok, Sierra Nevada may be much cooler. Saying this because it was so hot when we visited Spain (and we are Italians), a land not well know by us by the way, I mean by my wife and I, since, as you know, I met Flavia in Greece so we often came back there for our vacations. I am sorry I missed the Niagara Falls in Ontario (nice picture à propos) but we won’t next time, la prochaine fois, that we cross the pond.

  14. Hope you cross the Pond soon, MOR.

  15. Those are wonderful cloud pictures, Paul!

  16. Thank you Bear. There is much beauty in clouds...but not easy to catch since they move and change forms constantly.
