31 days of clouds :: day 19

When clouds appear like rocks and towers, the earth's refreshed by frequent showers.

~Old Saying

31 days of clouds :: day 18

Out of all of my cloud photos, I have to say that this photo is one of my favorites. I took it during my summer of jury duty from 16-floors up.

The clouds looked awesome and the actual storm that hit (exactly at the same time I was driving home) was even more so. So many downed trees, so many roads closed, so many cars on the road. Rush hour is definitely not a good time for a storm.

“You must not blame me if I do talk to the clouds.”

~ Henry David Thoreau

31 days of clouds :: day 15

I hope the clouds will come back tomorrow. They were supposed to come back today. It's been 8 straight days with no clouds. Just lots of big blue sky. If it weren't for this project I probably would forget what a cloud looked like.

Cloudy reflection

With the way the clouds are, it kind of makes the building look as though it were see through.
I love that.

31 days of clouds :: day 8

Not a single cloud could be seen floating in today's sky. That kind of makes things a bit difficult when you're working on a daily project on clouds.

No worries.

 Thanks to jury duty, I have back-up. Yes, you read that correctly.  Jury duty, one of the best experiences I have had in a long time.

16-floors up gives you the best seat in the house to watch an afternoon monsoon.

The approaching storm.

The temperature dropped 20-degrees from yesterday. Winter is here for a visit, but only for a couple of days. From what I hear, summer should return sometime next week.

How can storm clouds be so fluffy? They just kept growing and growing.

How sweet to be a cloud floating in the blue!

31 days of clouds :: day 3

The 100 degree temps are not that far gone but it still kind of feels like summer.
Well...maybe just a slightly not so hot version of summer (90's).

I hear some places are already feeling a bit winterish.
Not here though, we still have a few more months before that happens.

What's the current temperature where you live? Is it starting to feel like winter?

31 days of clouds :: day 2

A cloud cannot cast a shadow unless the sun is shining beyond it.

“Remember even though the outside world might be raining, if you keep on smiling the sun will soon show its face and smile back at you.”

31 days of clouds

I have been doing a lot of blog reading of late and when I came across Nester's 31 Days of ______ challenge to commit to blogging 31 days in a row on the same topic, I just knew it would be something that I would want to do. For the past few days I have been tossing around the idea of joining and trying to decide on a topic.

• 31 days of making a house a home
• 31 days of finishing old projects    
• 31 days of removing clutter           
• 31 days of scrapbooking                
• 31 days of my cats (LOL!)                

Then it hit me. I don't really have the time. It is so hard for me to admit that. Normally I would join and then worry later about my homework, housework, etc. But then, I realized this is what has caused me so much stress in the past. I always put my homework (and of course the housework) off to the side. And since I don’t think anyone wants to read about 31 days of homework, I may just have to sit this one out. 

But this thing is big! You should see all the other bloggers that have joined (611 so far). It probably would take 31 days just to read them all! Maybe that should be my topic, 31 days of 31-dayer blogs.

If I was going to participate it would have to be something that would work for me. Something simple. Something that would not cause my brain to overload and explode. I don’t know if my topic really fits in with all the other 31-dayers. I don’t really have any secrets or ideas or tips to share.

So on that note, welcome to:

I just like them.
