Obsession #1

Clouds!!! :D

Living where I do, I get to witness some of the most amazing displays of God's artistry with clouds and light.

Brilliant Sunsets!!

Gorgeous Sunrises!!

White fluffy clouds!

Billowing storm clouds!

Dancing sunlight!

I often wonder if my fascination with clouds began because I witnessed God's amazing designs, or whether God placed me in this beautiful place, to fulfil my obsession. Either way, I reckon God is pretty amazing.

 The awesome thing is that no two sunset, sunrise, light or cloud displays are the same!

Sometimes they're bright, bold and brilliant! Whenever I see them, they make me go WOW!! God is amazing!

 

  Sometimes they're pristine, peaceful and simply precious. Whenever I see them, I can't help catching my breath at their delicate beauty... :)

It's always interesting to attempt to take photos of the sky out of a moving car!

 Especially when the windows are dirty :P

I find it truly amazing how clouds can 'billow'! It's like they're huge sails on a ship. :D Layers and layers of multi coloured wispy-ness! But sometimes they look like smoke. :O Sometimes they are partially made up of smoke from all the bush fires around. That's not so good. :( But often those smoky clouds are the ones that become storm clouds and rain to put out the fires! So that's good! ;)

I love the way some clouds get that perfect pinky-orange tinge and look like fairy floss just waiting to be grabbed by sticky little hands and shovelled into a waiting mouth! :P

 

And the way the beams of light just shine gently through the clouds, with little sunbeams forming! And then glisten against a blade of grass or a water droplet! And how it silhouettes the trees and eeep!! :D

 

Oh and you can't forget the beauty at dusk... When the sunset has dissolved to black and blue, but the storm clouds glisten in various blue hues and look so heavenly against the lights in the nearby town that you let your breath out in a satisfied sigh and gaze dreamily at the beautiful sky! ;)

 It just frustrates me how a camera can never capture the true beauty of it.... 

Well I'm sure I must have totally bored you with my rambling about clouds.. :P But hopefully the pictures made up for my boringness... ;) 

Keep smiling!
