Dot in Cloud

Sometimes I marvel over what currents in the skies would place a dot in the middle of a cloud like this.  It almost appears to sit inside of a square.  I am ever amazed at the things I see in the sky.

Unexpected Square in a Ditch

My sharp-eyed Sister Clytie spotted this square of water cress alongside a ditch near her home.  I have never seen this plant grow in a square before!

Here is a closer look.  It isn't an exact square, but it sure comes close!

Have a lovely weekend.

Square clouds again!

I find square clouds to be fascinating.  Here is another of these amazing formations.

Have a great week!

Sky Sketch

To me, it looks like someone took a huge piece of chalk and sketched this angled pattern into the sky overhead. 

Have a lovely day!

Another Square Cloud

Here is a neatly squarish cloud with circle inside of it.  I captured it with my camera on this past week.   It always boggles my mind to see straight lines in the clouds--and that perfectly centered circle is fun, too.

Have a great day!

Squared

I caught these astonishing clouds with straight lines recently over the top of my house.  These kinds of clouds always fill me with a bit of awe.

Clouds aren't supposed to be square-shaped!

The beauty of the skies bring to mind the Words the Maker of Life spoke to His servant Job.

"Can you lift your voice to the clouds,

That a flood of waters may cover you?

Can you send forth lightnings that they may go

And say to you, 'here we are'?"

Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,
When the dust runs into a mass
And the clods hold together?

~Job 38: 34-35, 37-38

Have a lovely week. 

Cloudy Square -SkyWatch Friday

We were out walking when I caught this gigantic square in the sky with my camera.

Here is a close up of the cloud.

"O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God;

Sing praises to the Lord,

To him who rides in the heavens

The ancient heavens;

Behold, he sends out his voice, 

His mighty voice."

~A Psalm of David

(Psalm 68:34, 35)

If you love clouds as much as I do--join SkyWatch Friday to see all the amazing things to be found by looking up.  Have a lovely day and Happy Skywatch Friday!

Mysterious Cloak of Sun -SkyWatch Friday

We were in the parking lot of Guitar Center where we'd met up with a buyer for some of our older theater lights.  I couldn't help but notice this odd cloud formation.  The straight lines were quite intriguing.

Here is a closer shot a few moments after the first was taken.  Shortly after this there was a terrible storm.

Getting Geometric

 I've been away from this blog for a time--but I have growing a collection of geometric clouds which must be shared.  Above is a triangle cloud I caught over the back fence.

Here you can see three oval clouds next to a triangle tree top!

I see lots and lots of squares in the clouds.  It seems so odd to see a square amidst normally smooth and fluffy clouds.  I'll post some of my better pictures of cloud squares at a later time.

Round clouds such as you see above and round spaces in the clouds are more common than you might think.  I just love this fluffy circle cloud!

Last you will see a rectangle cloud. This is a rare capture.  I caught this from the window of the van, as we were traveling.

Have a lovely Christmas everyone! 

Egad, It's a Square!

Once again I find myself amazed at the straight lines one can find in the skies.   I caught these square clouds over the back fence in the alley a few days ago. 

'Tis purely incredible to me.

Borg Cloud at Sunset - Skywatch Friday

Heading South on I-5 one night, I happened to capture this amazing square cloud, just as the sun was setting.  It was quite spectacular!

Blue Sky Brownies

I apologize for being gone so long--my computer broke down and I was offline for sometime.  She's back up and running again--for which I'm thankful!

Every now and then I catch a glimpse of clouds which look like a huge pan of fluffy blue "brownies" cut into precise squares.  The above picture, taken from the south end of our home, is one such occurrence.

Motley Square

I was in awe the night this Motley Square cloud floated across the skies, just as the sun lowered behind the hilltops.

Square of Light, Heart of Cloud - Guest Heart Thursday

Just before we left for the weekend, I snapped this Square of Light with my camera.  The sun through the clouds was stunning, as were the pink bluish rainbow tones.  I could not look straight at the sky I was shooting--it was SO bright.  As I perused this picture--I also noticed hearts in the clouds.  Can you find them?  They're above the left hand side of that shiny square.

I'm so grateful for my camera which catches beauty I cannot see, except through the camera's eye.

For more heart art, photography and altogether fabulous heart stuff from around the world, visit Clytie at Random Hearts for Guest Heart Thursday.

Squares in Glory

When Sissy and I went to the beach I caught these square clouds in glory light.  I counted three squares in all--I thought them breathtaking.

This Square is Groovin'

I was fascinated by this square I found in the sandstone near the waves of the ocean.  It held my eye with its straight lines...and then I thought to myself, This Square is Groovin'. 

Squared in the Sky

I was out in the back yard tending to my garden when I glanced upward.  A combination of shadow and cloud caused this perfect square to form in the skies.  Of course, since I wear my camera like a necklace when I'm out and about--I caught these amazing photos.

Through the Windshield

I was sitting at a stoplight at the bottom of the hill, waiting to turn left down the "twirly road."

I looked up, gasped, grabbed my camera (sitting on the seat beside me) and clicked this HUGE square lurking in the skies just above my windshield.

Such a strange thing to see something like this Through the Windshield.

The First Square

Over a year ago, one early morning, while walking dogs with my Neighbor, I caught this extraordinary cubed shape indentation in the clouds .  My camera is never far from my side--and so I was able to capture this amazing sight.

My sister laughingly called it the "Borg" cloud.  Suffice it to say, I had never seen a square in the skies before.

However, since that day, I have caught many additional geometric shapes in the clouds and in nature itself.

I have created this blog to share these amazing photos.
