Reflection on a Spun Gold Sunset


The bottoms of the clouds looked like they were dipped in gold and hung up to dry, reflecting on their own beauty.

Little Toadstools


Another wispy sky sprouting little  toadstools in the grass, or maybe some reflective pools on the beach with breaking waves behind...

Cirrocumulus floccus flinging hair water

These clouds formed a pattern that seemed similar to the water spray off my daughter's hair when she whipped her head back in the pool. Boy does that take me back!



Today is Thanksgiving, and I am thankful for memories like these, and the clouds that evoke them!

Stormy Skies, Striking Contrast

The effect of these bright white alto cumulus clouds  against an ominous grey backdrop of storm clouds was really striking! If you look closely you can see the precipitation in the background.

Floating Pink Pelican on a Beautiful Blue Sea

My friends know that I'm crazy about birds - in fact I see them even when they're not really there! This is a true example of my tendency for aviary hallucinations.

Popeye in Victory!

These cumulus clouds against a cirrostratus background took me back to my cartoon childhood - Popeye raising his arms in victory! Thank heaven for spinach!

Cumulus Cloud Sneaker Races

This weather is quite unusual for November in Florida - there was quite a bit of lightning mixed in with these clouds.


The clouds in the foreground look like a whole bunch of sneakers running in a race...
