I love clouds and taking photos of them – and I was hoping to snap a new photo of really interesting clouds for this week’s Photo Friday. However, all did not go according to plan! There was a paucity of interesting cloudy skies – and then when I did see a really interesting cloud shape – in my rush to snap it with my camera, I managed to blur it! Such is life. I’m going to post it anyway (apologies for the poor quality of the pic!) So, as Tina would say, without more ado:

Seagull Cloud- taken last weekend in Sidmouth hovering over Lyme Bay. The seagull has its wings spread out and it’s head turned to the right of the picture. Can you make it’s beak and tail shape? I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it – it was huge by the way – it stretched right across Lyme Bay. Such a pity I blurred it!

 

Below, Clouds on Budleigh Salterton beach at dusk – what do you make of the cloud shape on the left of the photo?

And OK – it’s not a cloud – BUT when we visited Sidmouth a couple of years ago to find a property, we were very uncertain about our decision to move. It was a huge relocation for us - a 160 miles from our friends and most of our family. I can recall sitting outside (after viewing the property we went on to buy) discussing whether or not moving to Sidmouth was the right move. Suddenly, my husband P pointed into the air and said: “X marks the spot! So it must be the right place!” I grabbed the camera and quickly took the photo below – the X in the sky was right over the house we went on to buy. And 2 years later? Yes, it was the right move!

These are sites I came across on the Internet with absolutely inspirational photos of CLOUDS. Do take a look if you have time:

VERY RARE CLOUDS

MAMMUTUS CLOUDS

Oh! And one more photo! P says this photo he took of me, sums me up – because I’m sitting on the fence with my head in the clouds!
