This Week…Clouds Around

Clouds are funny…ever-changing, sometimes welcomed, sometimes not. When it’s cold out, we want the clouds to go away so we can bask in the sun's warmth. 

 

 

Never lose hope. The darkest clouds precede the loveliest rain. Avijeet Das



With all of the sun (and heat) we’ve had lately, we welcome the clouds for the shade they provide. 


 

Don’t forget: beautiful sunsets need cloudy skies. Paulo Coelho


Clouds also provide opportunities for us to unleash our imaginations. What do we see??



Clouds can never hide the sun forever, so don't complain about clouds but never forget to welcome the sun.    Debasish Mridha

And, let’s not forget that without clouds, there would be no rain. Bring on the clouds. 


 When the sky is totally covered by the dark clouds, be strong enough to see the bright stars beyond them!
Mehmet Murat ildan

 

 

Don’t get me wrong, I love a sky that is so blue you want to make like Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music when she was on top of the mountain. But clouds add variety to our lives…they add a layer that makes us appreciate what we have. 

 

 

Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.
Maya Angelou

 

 

 

Have a glorious weekend!!

Phoenicians love clouds as we get them so rarely it seems. Woke up this morning to a lot of clouds and hoping for rain - soon!  I hear it should happen starting Sunday and going for a couple of days on and off.  Bring on the rain and clouds!

Hi Nina Hollander, Broker we've had those days here but not lately. There were storms on the radar yesterday but didn't even come near us. 

Kat Palmiotti when I was a little girl we'd take these long (to me) trips down to our beach property. I loved staring up at the clouds to see what I could see.

it's very relaxing Brian England and what a great way to let your imagination just flow. 

Wayne Martin remember the afternoon storms in Florida during the summer!

Hi Kathy,

I love clouds.  They add a dramatic flair to any photo.  My husband would rather shoot a home on a cloudy day because of that same feature.  You have some beautiful images.

I just captured some thunderheads on my iPhone.  However, we batten down the hatches, but the storms move right by us.  I hope we get some rain this week.  Our high pressure is moving in your direction now! 

I have used that Maya Angelou quote.  I love it!  Have a great Saturday.

Here is one I got on the 17th.

Hi Kathy:

While I love a clear blue sky, there is something about clouds that adds so much. And they make sunsets far more interesting.

Loved your photos and your cloud quotes!!
