You read that right my friends - this week's tune will also include Scavenger Hunt Sunday;
and before you get too excited - please know that this SHS submission is more a 'walk of shame', 11th hour, barely sliding into third base, rummage through the archives kind of participation so feel free to forgo the confetti and applause. It has been too long and I miss visiting some of the very creative folks that regularly participate in Ashley's memes.
- anyhoo, here we go.
We'll start with song*ography:
Both Sides Now
by Joni Mitchell
~
Bows and flows of angel hair
and ice cream castles in the air
and feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down,
and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
.. .. ..
The intrinsic whim to cloud formation combined with the play of light and shadow keeps me perpetually in awe and frequently pointing them out to my family. It would seem that as soon as I picked up my first DSLR I started photographing the sky so this week's song lent itself to a well stocked library.
. . .

and this week's Scavenger Hunt Sunday words:
[My baby - now a Senior which makes me feel like a senior (citizen). ]
GRASS
[not exactly - but close enough]
SILLY
[Ike - you know you missed him!]
1/2 (half)
[seems like there should be more to this flower]
BOW
[this is as close as it gets to a bow around here]
whew! I did it.
"Walk of Shame"...literally laughing my arse off at that :). But only because I've bee there, done that myself at times. What IS it about the clouds that is so captivating? To the continued eye rolls of my family, I am forever pointing out the clouds to them too. They are magical and full of illusion...never static but always morphing. I want to be a cloud in my next life...AND to be able to eat ice cream without morphing too :). Thanks for joining in on Song-ography!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I LOVE your SHS selections!!!
ReplyDeleteNicely put together post. I've been slacking on the SHS. I needed a Felicity break.
ReplyDeleteI love your 3rd cloud image-that's a winner. Find someplace to enter it where there are cash prizes.
Ike looks so my like my Princess P. Maybe he's bigger, but their faces are so similar. Your boy/man-great image. Remember, you can still stand on a chair and be bigger than he is.
Great collection of pictures, my favorite is silly.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful clouds, I never get tired of them. I like especially the second photo. Is Ike tryign to be fercious?
ReplyDeleteYour cloud pictures are beautiful. I especially like the one with the calm water contrasting with the sky. So many people also do SHS, I guess I should hop on board. Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteSharon - believe it or not - not water; that is traveling above the fog, just below the clouds. Thanks for the complement.
DeleteGreat shots, Nicki - I love your bow!
ReplyDeleteSuperb pictures.
ReplyDeleteNow those are some amazing clouds. Amazing, really how many different ways there are to see clouds and appreciate them!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for always leaving such nice comments at my blog, too!!
Super cloud shots. That last one was breathtaking. I love watching clouds.
ReplyDeleteNo "walk of shame" needed for your SHS entry. I think you did a fabulous job. Loved your "grass" shot, it could be considered a type of grass. Silly made me smile. Half was lovely and the bow shot was so sparkly.
I love looking at clouds-either from a plane or from my confy chair in the garden! Love what you have written...you did it and you did it well!
ReplyDeleteI love that last cloud and reflection image! So nice! And that Ike is too cute! He looks like a fun cat. Mine is mean.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful photos...like you, I absolutely love clouds and have way too many photos of them. I think I need an intervention! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cloud shots! I find clouds to be completely captivating as well.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed your grass and half shots. They are lovely! I have been having a hard time deciding which meme I want to do as well. I have been doing Scavenger Hunt Sunday for so long and have really loved it. But now lots of people are doing songography, which is also fun. What a dilemma!
Hi, Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment today. I,too, seem to have more than my fair share of cloud photos, but they're all so beautiful! My "baby" is also grown now: 33! And I love Ike; he seems to have lots of cattitude!
