We don't always have the beautiful ocean outside our windows, but we
do always have the sky. So sometimes the sky is my ocean. All photos
taken this month just outside our front door looking east.

Scrumptious, Robin! As I've observed before, I love the way your let the sky dominate the frame.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of the sky as ocean, have you seen those NASA images of air currents carrying different things, like dust or smoke,moving all over the planet over time? I think you would appreciate them.
isabelita-- Ah, I like the way you see the photos. I haven't see seen the NASA images, but I'll go find them. Thank you for the tip.
DeleteStunning sky!
ReplyDelete37paddington-- So glad you like them.
DeleteBeautiful skies. I wonder how many of your neighbours were aware of the free show outside their windows.
ReplyDeleteJohn-- It surprises me how most people never look up. I try to encourage the neighborhood kids to take a good long look around in all directions.
DeleteYes, I used to lead groups of walkers in the English countryside. Quite frequently I'd see dark clouds approaching and suggest that it might be an idea to put waterproofs on. "Why? Do you think it might rain?" someone would always ask.
DeleteSpeaking of looking up I looked this up because I thought it might amuse you both - A Haiku by John Cooper Clarke:
To convey ones mood
In seventeen syllables
Is very diffic
John-- Thank you so much for this haiku. We had a very good laugh and loved it!
DeleteGot to love looking at the sky, especially as it is always so different from day to day
ReplyDeleteBill-- It's reliably beautiful, except on bleak foggy days.
DeleteBeautiful. I saw some interesting clouds the other day and thought about you. I even took some pics of them.
ReplyDeleteSharon-- I love that interesting clouds made you think of me. Thank you for that, it truly made my day!
DeleteThose are some amazing skies!
ReplyDeleteSteve-- I run outside to look all the time, and there it is-- amazing skies!
DeleteYou do seem to have the most interesting skies. I love the idea that it is your ocean. I do miss the ocean here in the Ozarks and will try your method as a substitution. Thank you.
ReplyDeletePatti-- I can't wait to see what you see in the skies there. I'm sure it will be beautiful!
DeleteBeautiful skies
ReplyDeleteRain-- I love running out in the morning to take a look.
DeleteLove your sky photos, robin. The sky is my ocean, too! Day and night.
ReplyDeleteam-- Ah, we share this too, this sky ocean!
DeleteWith a little imagination Picture #3 looks like water to me. Enjoyed all. Thank you. I look up very often -- started as a kid with cloud shapes and then as a a middle-ager looking at birds and now entering my 60s I'm still birdwatching and sometimes look up just to help ease "the blues"of life. Glad you're encouraging the kids to look in all directions - for the beauty and for situational awareness. Kim in PA
ReplyDeleteKim-- Sometimes I wish I had a tower so I could look in all directions. The vastness of our beautiful planet and skies soothes in these anxious times, and yes "the blues" of life.
DeleteI share your fascination with clouds and am fortunate to live in an area with a large hemisphere to enjoy them. This week I saw a rather unusual display. A long band of clouds that appeared as vertical stripes stretched across an otherwise blue sky. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour post about the visit with your Mom was so bittersweet. Our human condition. Best to you and Roger.
def59485-- I would love to see the sky and clouds you saw. I find it all endlessly fascinating. Yes, about our human condition, bittersweet it is. Always so good to hear from you.
DeleteReally beautiful skies! Thanks for sharing them. We all need an ocean of some kind.
ReplyDeleteSpare Parts and Pics-- Yes, we all do need an ocean of some kind. An expansive view that helps us see life bigger than ourselves.
DeleteBeautiful! xoxo Michael and Andie
ReplyDeleteMichael-- Thank you and Andie too! xoxo!
DeleteBeautiful photos Robin. Number two is an amazing sky!
ReplyDeletePat-- Thank you. Sometimes we really do get some amazing skies!
