Clouds

[wiltsman]

Has anyone taken the time to go outside and look skywards today? It's a beautiful day here in north Wiltshire. There are clouds, but they're very high and wispy, some of them have fascinating shapes, I think they're Cirrus clouds, althought I'm no expert.

Here in N. Yorks it is a cloudless day, and as good as my eyesight is I am afraid I cannot see the ones in Wiltshire.
I must admit I enjoy cloud gazing, especially from the comfort of a sun lounger with a chilled glass of wine to hand :-)

I've looked at clouds from both sides now, from up and down, and still somehow, it's cloud illusions I recall; I really don't know clouds at all.

Wow Geezer - you should turn those words into a song!!!

[wiltsman]

Best way to enjoy the clouds Mrs O.

I think Jodi Mitchell beat you to those lyrics in 1967 O.G! Well spotted Andy.

Mrs Overall, when I first started to read your message, I thought you meant New York! (N York's).....

[Svejk]

When I was about 6 my 9-year-old sister who knew everything, so I thought, pointed to a cloud and said, 'They can see that same cloud in Mexico'.
So how come you can't see the clouds in Wiltshire, MrsO?

[mrs_overall]

psst, it was sung by Judy Collins, not Joni Mitchell

[mrs_overall]

Lol, I wish I was in New York!

Sweaty, I can't see the clouds in Wiltshire because I am indoors! Doh!

[Svejk]

Joni Mitchell, MrsO. Collins borrowed it.

[shoota]

'Doh' is a bit rich coming from someone who doesn't know the first thing about football....

[shoota]

Or popular music....

[mrs_overall]

Collins had the hit with it.

Don't you start shoota!

[wiltsman]

Calm down ...... calm down everybody! Its a beautiful day - enjoy it.

[Svejk]

^Yeah, but Judy Collins. snigger

I took a photo of the sky in France last summer:

Courtesy of Wikipedia: "Both Sides, Now" is a song by Joni Mitchell, and one of her best-known songs. First recorded by Judy Collins in 1967, it subsequently appeared on Mitchell's 1969 album

Is that the sea I see in the bottom of your photo, shoota?

[horselady]

Lovely isn't it Wiltsman-where do you live, I'm just outside Melksham.

[shoota]

No Svejk, that was taken well inland, over a farm in Deux Sevres.
