I was in a boarding school. Plenty of time to while away an hour or so, when no one was looking. I still have vivid memories of cloud gazing.

“Aren't the clouds beautiful? They look like big balls of cotton... I could just lie here all day, and watch them drift by... If you use your imagination, you can see lots of things in the cloud formations... What do you think you see, Linus?"

"Well, those clouds up there look like the map of the British Honduras on the Caribbean... That cloud up there looks a little like the profile of Thomas Eakins, the famous painter and sculptor... And that group of clouds over there gives me the impression of the stoning of Stephen... I can see the apostle Paul standing there to one side..."

"Uh huh... That's very good... What do you see in the clouds, Charlie Brown?"

"Well, I was going to say I saw a ducky and a horsie, but I changed my mind!”

and I have hundreds of cloud pictures to prove it. I just cannot help myself. They are special. Nice picture!

Thank you for reminding us to keep looking up.

Tons of water with molecules rubbing each other like a cat on polyester. Sparks, light and a rumbling voice that reminds us that 'you are here' in that giant map in a cosmic mall.

I love the clouds and the rain. Except when the rain is coming in sideways, like tonight.

I can sit and watch the clouds for hours, seeing everything from faces to countries to art paintings. Sometimes, I just keep it simple like Charlie Brown.

I took this photo last year when we visited the Grand Canyon. I was equally impressed with the cumulus clouds as I was with the canyon.
