Passing through

“Why, then, do we dread the clouds which now darken our sky?  True, for a while they hide the sun, but the sun is not quenched; He will shine out again before long. Meanwhile those black clouds are filled with rain; and the blacker they are, the more likely they are to yield plentiful showers.  How can we have rain without clouds?”  ~C. H. Spurgeon

An eagle in the clouds

During one of our recent walks, my husband pointed out this cloud formation that looked like an eagle’s head.  It only lasted long enough to get a few shots before the higher winds swept it away.

~The clouds are always improvising, but the culprit is the wind.”  ~Unknown

Hope

“Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burdens behind it.”  ~Samuel Smiles

Waves in the sky

Altocumulus Undulatus

“We can speak without voice to the trees and the clouds and the waves of the sea.  Without words they respond through the rustling of leaves and the moving of clouds and the murmuring of the sea.  ~Paul Tillich

Cloud patterns

I enjoy looking at the pattern that the clouds make in the sky.  In the first photo, I think it looks like a dog riding on a horse.  The second photo reminds me of angel wings.

The sky, a perfect empty canvas, offers clouds nonetheless. They shift and drift and beg interpretation … such is the nature of art. ~Jeb Dickerson
