the clouds were with me! this morning the sky was vivid blue but devoid of clouds. later in the afternoon they began to roll across the sky so i grabbed paper and pencil and made my way to a prime viewing location. the clouds didn't disappoint. as i watched them i was concerned that i wouldn't "see" anything. however, i told myself to look for nothing; to clear my mind and just enjoy being outside looking at the clouds. that must have been what was needed because as i relaxed and concentrated on the various shapes, texture, density and shadow of the clouds as they slowly drifted by, i began to see plenty! my cloudy discoveries:
reclining figure: the shape of a person, lying on the back seemed to be to be doing what i was doing.....looking at the clouds!
teddy bear: a huge, puffy, full strikingly white cloud looked like a teddy bear sitting down. it was positioned in profile and the head was tilted slightly to one side.
dog: a very large dog was laying on the back, tummy exposed, legs in the air with the right front paw slightly higher than the rest as if waiting for someone to come by and shake it. my dog, mutton, assumes this pose often. that position usually yields a belly rub and a paw shake. i imagined the doggy cloud would enjoy the same.
person in profile: a head and part of the shoulders is what this cloud offered. it was all the more clever because the lips were pursed with a streak of wispy clouds along side the mouth. it seemed that the figure was blowing the clouds.
dragon: a very large dragon revealed itself in one very large cluster of clouds. it was detailed in features from head to the end of the tail. it had lots of character as it was complete with flames being blown from the mouth. a true fire breathing beast! impressively so.
