Yesterday was another busy day for me – doing never-ending household chores, preparing meals for the day and tending my small garden. I had to trim the carabao grass because I could no longer use the stepping-stones, they were almost covered with the fast-growing ground cover. I think I sweated a pint (this is no exaggeration) when I finished trimming the front of the garden. It was that kind of perfect weather, blue sky and a gentle breeze blowing softly and the dogs were happy because they had company. Then I looked up and saw these clouds rolling by as if they were late for a rendezvous. I couldn’t run fast enough to get my camera and take a few shots. See how quickly they move and change course.
I am a cloud-watcher. Since I was a child I have always been fascinated by clouds. I could not count the times I took shots of clouds and blogged about them. Next to my macro photos on flowers, clouds are my favorite subject.
Rabindranath Tagore described clouds beautifully when he said “Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”
Dreams And Escapes 
I always remember the sight of the clouds from an aeroplane, the first time I ever flew in one, which was in my early 20s. They looked so dense and fluffy up there, it was as if I could have stepped out, and walked across them.
Best wishes from England, Pete.

I am fascinated with the ever changing skyscape too. A perfectly blue sky with white clouds always makes me feel good and alive. It somehow brightens my day, even more when the day didn’t turn out right. Once , unknowingly my son captured a heart-shape cloud when he took me and his mom’s picture in Galveston beach. It felt magical! Have a blessed weekend. Regards to your family. God bless…

This afternoon, I was looking at the sky and I saw a dog-shaped figure up there except for the scattered tail then I thought of our Japanese Spitz, its tail is always fan-like. Clouds are sometimes ominous but they are so fascinating to look at. I am always reminded of the childhood years spent in the province where there were no electric lines to mar the view.
Thanks IT, regards to your family too!

Thank you, Arlene, for following my blog. Clouds add moisture, interest and even mystery to a sky. A polarizing filter gives them emphasis. Nice post!
