Wordless Wednesday...Clouds Keep You Looking Up!

 

Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated by clouds. On our long trips to the beach, I would stare out of the car window at the clouds. It was fun seeing what I could make out of their shapes. 

 

(That may be why I enjoyed administering Rorschach tests!)

Clouds may be just fluffs of water or ice in the air to some people, but for me...they’re anything I choose them to be.

A pessimist sees only the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides, and shrugs; an optimist doesn’t see the clouds at all, he’s walking on them. Leonard Louis Levinson

Beautiful quote! And I too love watching clouds. Especially now that there are such huge vistas and we could have multiple different kinds of clouds all at the same time. Amazing!

It's fum to watch the clouds come and go and morph into different shapes. The only thing better than watching the clouds, is watching the clouds with a child.

Another cloud fan here, Kathy. The quote you shared is perfect, and one I hadn't heard before.

Hi Kathy Streib - Living in SoCal for a long time, I used to remember the clouds in Houston. Lots of fluffy white clouds I didn't see often in Southern California.  I didn't see these types of clouds until I moved to Sedona AZ.  There is something very special about a fluffy or otherwise cloud.

I especially loved seeing them from inside an airplane when we would fly. Haven't flown in quite awhile now.

Kathy,

I love clouds, and our skies at the present are very cloudy.  As a matter of fact we have a blanket of clouds.  A

Nina Hollander I do love that quote.

Wayne Martin that's the way to be. 

I agree Donald Urschalitz  That's why I loved my early morning walks on the beach in Delray.

Michael Jacobs all we have to do is keep our eyes, ears, and minds open. 

Grant Schneider same here. And when I wander into that state, I quickly leave. 

I couldn't agree more Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD Consider ourselves lucky when we get any chance to view the world through a child's eyes.

Will Hamm you can still do that...just make sure there's someone standing by to help you up off the grass! LOL

Sharon Tara you just reminded me of some photos Larry took when he was in his jet. I'll have to look for them.

Morning again Kathy.

Still love to look at the clouds and see if I can make something out of them, like a boat, a face or anything else.

The movement of them is so relaxing, I often find myself at peace when watching them across the sky.
