As I said in last comment - you're on a roll! Rays of golden light reaching from indigo clouds... and the rose colored water in the bottom photo - well, incredible. In fact, that bottom photo looks like a Monet water lily painting. The clouds given texture by ripples in the water looking like brushstrokes - amazing!
steven, I still can't get straight from your comment avatar on my blog to your blog. It doesn't matter so much to me because I have you in my bloglist, but there might be others who are put off by Google saying that 'this blog does not exist'.
valerianna - when i got home and uploaded that picture i too was struck by the fortune of the ripples that resemble brushstrokes. there's probably software that can do that for you if you want but i don't own it - don't want to actually!! thanks for your kind comment. steven
angryparsnip i really appreciate clouds and they figure priminently in this blog. more and more i'm interested in reflections. so i'm learning about seeing them, then about phorographing them, then about knowing why they need to appear here. steven
friko i have a very tolerant approach to the blog - those who arrive here were meant to. i'm grateful that you care to let me know of the difficulty that some may have experienced. i hope that their persistence and inventiveness overcomes the googly-eyes monster!!! steven

LOVE absolutely LOVE the water photo- I wish that I could paint like that- really wonderful shot, Steven!
ReplyDeleteLovely post.
ReplyDeleteAdore any kind of reflective shot, windows, cars, or water always surprising.
Plus I am such a cloud person.
cheers, parsnip
Fantastic contrast here, Steven, above and below: the ethereal sky above and the liquid water below, both flecked by fluffy cloud. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteA visible prayer!
ReplyDeleteDo you live in paradise?
