Clouds for Shadow Shot Sunday


In early February I thought winter was beginning to leave. The air was warm and the days sunny. Last weekend, we had lots of snow! And it has been snowing off and on since. After a night of snow, the morning is always clear and sunny with a nice bite to the air .

I took this photo from my balcony. It had been snowing all night and the weather was starting to clear up.

Your clouds are so beautiful. We have been having lots of clouds in our part of the world too. But here in Brisane they have been subtropical storms with lots of scary lightning and noise.

Cloud gazing is always fun. You've captured some interesting looking clouds there. Love the blue peeking through. Hope the days warm up for you soon. I'm sure you've had quite enough snow for one season. Lovely shadow shot :)

I love clouds. They are dreamy and romantic. They are threatening. They are changeable. They take me away to warm afternoons spent rolling in the grass. Beautiful Shadow Shot.
We find clouds facinating - this one especially! So many shades of grey here....perfect shadow shot!
Pretty...nice shadows of clouds on clouds! I love to watch clouds move.

It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport!
