A poor excuse is better than none

Or so my husband said, when he asked if I'd been blogging and I replied: "I have a cold you know." Sadly, the world has not come to a screaching halt just because I'm not feeling well. No, in fact, life goes on even when one doesn't feel like going on with it. With my cold on it's way out, I'm feeling less and less like lazily lying on the sofa watching tv all day. Back in the saddle again!

So today as we were sitting waiting for my 10-year stepdaughter to get out of school, I said to Keith (the husband) that the clouds seemed particularly lazy today (I sense a theme here). There were all these big beautiful fluffy clouds, but they didn't appear to be moving. I remember being a small child growing up in Ohio. My little sister and I used to lie on our backs in the grass watching the clouds, finding animal shapes and faces in the sky overhead. When did I stop enjoying the wonder and beauty of clouds, I wondered aloud to Keith today? And why? Clouds are fascinating. From angry storm clouds to fluffy taffy-pulled ones, clouds are an ever changing art show right above my head ... for free.

And this all brings me to my newest project; Cloud Photography. I decided to focus my 30 photos in 30 days on CLOUDS for the next 30 days. Starting with this one;

Un-retouched and un-fussed over, this cloud photo was actually taken on Saturday on my drive back to town from afternoon tea in Carefree Arizona. I like the lone tree in the foreground, and the mountains deep in the rear. And of course I like those clouds. They were entertaining when I was 5 and 6 ... and they still capture my imagination today. I hope they'll do the same for you!
