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.

ReplyDeleteHi Diane,
ReplyDeleteI 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.
