We just have to look a little closer. I wish you could send some stray clouds from that herd this-a-way. We sure could use the rain. The drought, wildfires, and outside watering bans continue here. The last time we got a little bit of rain, I ran outside with a soapy bucket of water so I could wash some of the filth off my car. A week later, it was almost as dirty as it was before I washed it. <br /><br />By the way, I found that file on my computer with the picture of Halle-Boppe over the lighthouse in Tybee Island that I told you about. If you'd like me to send it to you, send me an email.

Just looking at that cloudy sky is relaxing, not to mention the pretty flowers.<br /><br /> I enjoy photographing clouds of all kinds. I, too, like to enlarge sky dots to see what I can find. So many people count on those clouds rising up and dropping precipitation. <br /><br />Teaching my kiddos the water cycle was always one of my favorite parts of the curriculum. I used to get a kick out of taking them to Wemlinger Water Treatment Plant which was very near our school, just so they could see the final stop for water from the mountains before it went to their homes.<br /><br />Have a great rest of the week!
