This area of NW Washington is mountainous, coastal, valleys and plains - we have clouds that change with the terrain. These photos were all taken on the same day - while on a drive of about 60 miles round trip.
Clouds gathering over an old barn
A rain shower that never reached the ground
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
Clouds show some wind action
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
High rainstorm and misty clouds
Puffy white clouds above, dark rainclouds below
Bright blue skies and white clouds
Wispy
Puffy and broken up
Gathering over the hills
The clouds change in a minute
Sitting atop the hills
Puffy and circling
Smudged by winds
I caught a crow flying - in the upper left corner
More crows as they fly home for the night
I really don't know clouds at all.
Love, love, love that song, and Joni Mitchell,and love your photos too.

Beautiful! I love those cloudy skies, too.
ReplyDeleteI love watching the clouds and keep intending to learn what the various formations are called: cumulus, stratocumulus, cirrus, cirrostratus. I have a little Audubon pocket guide to clouds and storms that's been ignored too long.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of Joni Mitchell's lyrics. Amazing pictures of clouds. They're so artistic.
