Cloud Musings On A Summer day

The lens of my camera was able to capture the beauty of the clouds on a beautiful summer day and into the evening. I have posted a few pictures as well as some reflective thoughts on clouds by some notable writers.

Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain, or usher a storm but to add color to my sunset sky.
Rabindranath Taqore-Indian poet essayist

Forest, lakes and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes-every form of animate or inanimate existence leaves its impress upon the soul of man.
Orison Swett Marden-American Writer 1850-1924
