Floating in the sky

The wind is Nature's artist in the sky

A tiny propeller plane wants to be in the picture

A flock of cloud sheep seeking their shepherd

The mountains stare up in wonder as they contemplate the snowy valleys and peaks

Late afternoon fluffiness with a touch of pink

as shapes come and go and transform before our eyes.

How nice to be a tree
and forever admire the changing sky.
The tree tops pull our gaze above
lest we forget
how to really see...

  3. Beautiful! I just love cloud pictures, and I love watching the cloud shapes progress... Sometimes it's so subtle and hardly noticeable and other times it's amazing how fast they change!

  6. You have made a lovely story about the cloud formations, each one different. I think my favorite one is about the sheep, and those clouds look like the wooly curls on a sheep. Your poetry verses are worthy to be written in a book, as an accompaniment to your photography book for a coffee table. :)

  7. Sandra, these are so amazing! The colors of blue and white are so soothing! You've inspired me! I'm taking sky/cloud photos during the month of August, but I'll admit I've not seen any as gorgeous as these!!

  8. What lovely images -- I especially like the late afternoon light. Changing sky indeed -- you are so lucky that you have clouds....we almost never see any during the summer.

  14. Hi Sandra

    What beautiful sky photos
    they are wonderful

    I am sorry that I have not been around for the last while. but I have my Mum staying with me at the moment and feel guilty if I don't give her my time and so haven't been on the computer much.

    Hope all is well with you.

    I will have so much catching up to do
    when Mum goes home that it will take me until Christmas
    to get through all the posts I have missed!

    Have a lovely weekend.
