Waiting for the bus and walking the dog
are rather damp occupations lately.
This morning.
But yesterday afternoon the sky was blue
and there was a little hole in the cloud.
LilyHydrangea thinks it looks like an eye.
So then I thought of Keats:
When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance.......
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance.......
And Hamlet to Polonious:
Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in shape of a camel?
ps. maybe I should get a day job......
pss Lala's beautiful plate post from Spain is here.
I must be imagining things because that hole in the cloud looks like an eye to me, like a profile of someone's face.
ReplyDeleteI hope we get more blue skies today.
I don't mind walking the dog in the rain but I do mind waiting for the bus in the rain. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love your sky pics. Dreamy! Have a great Monday.
Paz
Truly lovely!

I agree with Lily - I also see a profile in the cloud. I love the third picture - it looks as though there is a mssive wind pushing those clouds like crazy!
ReplyDeleteVery quiet looking for NYC. Nice photos.
ReplyDeleteThose last two shots ARE WOW! :^)
ReplyDeleteI thought this was your day job.. that cloud has not only an eye but a nose and mouth and it appears its blowing, a la birthday candles, the other cloud
ReplyDeleteIt was so great to wake up to sunshine this morning.
ReplyDeleteYes definitely an eye and a face to go with it.
No, no camel, but I do see that pencil thin building in the distance, or is it just the shadow side of a building....!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lily Hydrangea--that looks like a face in profile. A Falstaff kind of face.
ReplyDeleteHoping for blue skies for you!
Happy Monday to you, Elizabeth - I do hope it stops raining on New York soon. And, no, I really tried, but I couldn't find an almost camel.
ReplyDeletePS. Please don't get a day job...we'd miss you too much! So would Buster (did you name him after the sweet Buster who wondered in and chose to live with your Mama for a while during the war?)
oh, Katherine, that first shot is really good - when it's enlarged you can see the woman in blue looking right at your camera and everyone else faces away in their own thoughts - I really like it! your last post was fabulous also - every shot just wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteIt does look like an eye. A whole face actually. And what a beautiful blue.
ReplyDeleteThat cloud does look a bit like a camel's head. How nice that poetry comes to mind!
ReplyDeleteWe used to see pictures and faces in the embers of the fire - now you will have mu looking for the same in the clouds. Nice pics as ever. Looking forward to Mug Monday next week (Val had typed July by mistake!)
ReplyDeleteBlue sky in New York...lovely!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, i'm curious about this day job..Are you really?
Have a great week
xoxo
ps. i did my plate post today
:-)
We get so little rain, that I do miss it.
ReplyDeleteI did find the camel! And I love the cloud shot above the building. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBlue sky makes you feel so much better doesn't it? :-)
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, great sky shots, looks like there's a lot of wind up there. I must take my camera to Melbourne when I go next; I love it.
ReplyDeleteI see a whole face in silhouette! Wow.
ReplyDeleteLove the streaky clouds, too.
It hasn't rained here in a few days - quite a relief.
Such beautiful shots. The dreamy clouds are wonderful!

Not only like a face but like an extremely distressed one. Maybe he's depressed about changing shape!
ReplyDeleteCloud-gazing... one of my favorite past-times too :O) Clouds often look like face to me. Super photos, Elizabeth! Happy Day ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteElizabeth :P Your sky pictures are absolutely AMAZING...love them ! hugs/M
