Powder Puff Clouds...

"A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed...

It feels an impulsion...this is the place to go now.

But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds,

and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough

to see beyond horizons."

Richard Bach

These clouds were billowing up above the clouds and smoke from the 

Indian Fire at Mono Lake...taken the same day as the fire shots I posted last week..

Thunderclouds....

Thunder clouds over Bishop California

"We can never have enough of nature.  We must be refreshed by the sight of 

inexhaustible vigor, vast and titanic features, the sea-coast with it's wrecks,

 the wilderness with its living and its decaying trees, 

the thunder-cloud and the rain."

Henry David Thoreau

Oops!  This is my first Sunday Stills post...and I didn't realize the plan was
to post two of the past challenges...

My first was clouds...
and now my next is from my archives...for blue...

It's a Silvery Moon...

"By the light of the silvery moon,

I want to spoon, to my honey I'll croon love's tune,

Honeymoon keep a shining in June,

Your silvrey beams will bring love dreams, we'll be cuddling soon,

By the silvery moon."

lyrics by Eward Madden

music by Gus Edwards

published in 1909

Another moment in honor of Dixie Jane, whom I'm sure would have loved this foray 

back in time...

Barking up a Tree...

"As the poet said, "Only God can make a tree", probably because it's 

so hard to figure out how to get the bark on."

Woody Allen

I'm thinkin' Woody Allen knows what he's talkin' about in this photo!

The Ubiquitous "U"!!!

What could be more Ubiquitous and Uplifting than this gorgeous sky behind the
charming chapel in Bodie, California???

This is the first church in Bodie, it is Methodist, and it is still in quite good shape for a 

ghost town church.  The last time I was here, a Forest Ranger told me that 

there used to be a tapestry of the ten commandments on the wall behind the altar...

he also said that someone stole it...

Given that Bodie was quite the disreputable town, full of thieves, murderers and the like...

it certainly lends credence to the little girl's entry in her diary, 

when told she was moving to Bodie, 

that said:

"Good bye God...I'm going to Bodie!"
