azure blue sky
on a bright sunny summer day
is divine…
puffy,
cottony,
drifting clouds
truly clamour for my attention.
Without them,
the sky it quite plain,
flat,
usual,
and really rather ordinary.
But when the clouds decorate the sky,
the world is fancy,
it’s round and full and fluffy,
it’s different and unique and unusual
it’s EXTRAordinary.
So go ahead,
get your head up in the clouds.
It’s not a bad place to be
after all.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
The layering in this landscape is wonderful. I follow that advice most of the time! (K)

As a kid I always loved laying in the grass, looking up at the clouds and imagining they were something they couldn’t possibly be. Not much has changed since I still do the same thing today…)
Love that photo. All kinds of possibilities..:)

Every time I get the urge to have a road trip, I envision an image just like your photo. I agree with your poem too; a sky without clouds, is rather boring. great job.
