These are some of my favorite cloud images from the past week. As we were getting ready for a late afternoon walk, Chris noticed these clouds pointing to our rooftop.
It's fun when clouds appear to be relating to a scene. The clouds in the image below seemed to be echoing the mountain and botanical shapes of the desert.
Chris said it looked as if the clouds were showing sounds coming from the bird atop the cactus, reminiscent of Snoopy's friend, Woodstock speaking.
This one looked to me like an owl flying out of Sabino Canyon.
And at dusk, walking towards the visitor center, I imagined a giant crab reaching out from the valley below.

Yes, these clouds are indeed relating to the scenes described. Lovely series of pictures.
Beautiful collection of photos to celebrate Sky Watch Friday. Thanks for sharing with us all.
Beautiful skies!
Are these flowers of the Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja) in the second picture?
Hi Merisi, The flowers in the second picture are ocotillo, thanks for asking!
:-))) the first house i think have a Poltergeist inside!! Funny sky
The desert sure is pretty this time of year!
I think that crab escaped from Harrahs and is heading south to Tucson :) (just kidding) Friday and Saturday are their seafood buffets nights.
Absolutely beautiful sky, and clouds! What a great capture!
Those are really amazing. I could truly see what you were describing. Thanks for the fun shots.
What fun way to view a lovely sky!
Nice clouds and commentary.
Those are great sky shots Diane, and the bird does remind me of Woodstock.
Awesome photos of the clouds. Great skywatch photos!
I love the one with the 'sound waves' coming from the bird! Amazing collection of skies!
You should be featured on the next Skywatch round page! The bird photo is stunning! And the first one looks like a tornado.
Beautiful clouds, beautiful series, psrticularlythe angelhair clouds against the deep blue sky, the desert flower foreground, the last one and of sourse the first withthe tornado rising from your roof.
Great captures.

Thats totally cool, I could see everything that you were talking about in the photos. I love the little bird up on the cactus. The clouds spoke for him.
each of these were great captures...i like the first and last :) but all are lovely sky watch captures...
have a wonderful weekend.
Great set of clouds. They stimulate your imagination, don't they?!
Hi Diane,
I love the photo of the Ocotillo. They were just hitting their stride when I had to head north a few weeks ago although some of the lower elevation ones were in bloom. Beautiful plants.
Oh, I love the second one with the flowers, cactus, and the beautiful sky.
You out did yourself with this week's Skywatch Friday.
What beautiful cloud pictures. They are so interesting.

Diane thank you for these awesome sky views of AZ.I've left your wonderful state
boo hoo..love seeing the ocatilos and saguaros and I have to admit the skies are so vast and always interesting to look at!!
It really does look like the birdie on top of the cactus is speaking.
Looks like the bird is blowing smoke rings.
