“People who take time to be alone usually have depth, originality, and quiet reserve.”
John Miller
A cloud is an aerosol consisting of a visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or other particles suspended in the atmosphere of a planetary body or similar space. Water or various other chemicals may compose the droplets and crystals. On Earth, clouds are formed as a result of saturation of the air when it is cooled to its dew point, or when it gains sufficient moisture (usually in the form of water vapor) from an adjacent source to raise the dew point to the ambient temperature. They are seen in the Earth’s homosphere, which includes the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere. Thank you Wikipedia for expressing the scientific side of what a cloud is. I look at them and see nature’s palette for creating breathtaking art.
There may be a quiz tomorrow on this, so be prepared. 😳

I love clouds too. Like most things in nature, no two are alike.

Funny that you posted this on the same day I posted photos of clouds here in Illinois (I’m staying and visiting friends in Wisconsin but we’re just over the state line, and it seems all our travels have taken us south!). Clouds are amazing and interesting phenomena, fun just to watch but even better to watch and photograph!

As they say, great minds think alike. I can find myself just spending time watching the clouds, letting them touch something within me. No need to even touch my camera.
