Cloud Gazing...

I cloud gazed as a kid and I still love to do it.I try to figure what the different clouds resemble. that is so much fun to do.Lately around here so cal its been so overcast I couldn;t do any cloud gazing but I often to when we have these big fluffy clouds against a bright blue sky. It always makes me feel so peaceful.

Oh I love to cloud gaze and still do either by myself or with my family..

We have a big hill just behind our house..when we were kids we would take a blanket and picnic. We would lay there for hours sometimes just watching the clouds and looking for different shapes and such. We also used to go out at night to lay there and look at the stars. One night my friend and I were star gazing..I think I was about 11. Anyway we fell asleep and were rudely awakened by my mother shining a flashlight in our eyes... We had no idea it was 11:00 pm....lol We were so sound a sleep we didn't even hear everybody yelling for us and searching for us..hehe
Brightest Blessings, Mari

Sunday afternoon, my friend drove mom and me to a few stores. I usually do all the driving so it was a nice change.
The sky was amazing with layers of clouds that seemed to go all the way down to the ground. Rays of sunlight streaming through them and blue hues that ranged from light sky blue to a deep cornflower blue. So much depth...it was breathtaking.
I paint murals in homes and love to look at the sky for new ways to paint them. I do, however miss taking the time to just lie on the grass and look up at the sky. I'll have to make the time this year. I also have a habit of checking the sky at night when I walk my dogs. If it's clear, that usually means the next day will be pleasant.

I love to gaze at clouds.When i was young on the island we would lay on the porch at nights and just watch the clouds. We would see who could find the most shapes, it was fun.. seeing that we had no tv. I still do it to this day, it's just that now my siblings and cousins have been replaced by my grandson.

Oh yes, I love cloud gazing! I use to it a lot more as a child too. I still from time to time manage to cloud gaze. Whenever I'm outside, I always look up at the sky, day or night. I love star gazing as well. Hmmmm....I see snoopy or maybe some kind of baby in a fetal position. Snoopy was the first that came to me. Great pic!

I did this a lot as a child..I remember i use to go to Sunday school and this friend of mine would ask me over to her house afterwards....We would take a blanket outside after lunch and we stared at the clouds as we lay on our backs looking up into the sky and we would make shapes of all kinds of things out of the clouds...She would share what she found and i would share mine,we could lay there for hours,it was so peaceful.....I remember it very well....I have also done this since i have been an adult,i don't know why but it feels so relaxing,and it just gives me a nice feeling just staring at the clouds..It is amazing all the shapes you can make.........Sometimes i just like to sit on my front porch and stare into the sky.....

sometimes I do a little cloud gazing here and there and find it relaxing too. I love doing this when its windy and you can really see them move over heaven.

I'll check the photo out after posting this as I am repsonding via email. I've enclosed a photo I took last year of an approaching storm. I think I see an alligator or crocodile in this shot. The head is at the very right and the legs and ears are visible. Hahaha! I love cloud watching trying to find any shape that resembles something all the time.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I still love cloud gazing and with each of my older grandchildren we've often looked at the clouds to see what pictures they made. With one of them we've even made up stories about them. I'm looking forward to the youngest one being old enough to cloud gaze.
