Every day this time of year our skies start out fairly clear and blue. Then the clouds start to build, usually puffy clouds, turning into towering cumulus. Towering cumulus can assemble themselves into cumulonimbus – tall, tall skyscrapers of misty water droplets that return to earth in tropical downpours. These clouds can tower for miles, up to 40,000 feet!
This time of year I also see a lot of butterflies: Sulphurs of all types, Whites, Gulf Fritillaries, Viceroys, White Peacocks, Swallowtails…a riot of fluttering color. It seemed appropriate to add a Sulphur against the clouds, since I see so many pairs of them dancing and swirling up in the sky lately.

Very nice Elizabeth, creative juices flowing.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, you've brought the clouds to life and made it look so effortless! I love the sulphur up above eye level, too! A lovely journal page!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful clouds, Elizabeth--Florida skies can be spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gordon!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you Debbie - it seems that every time I saw sulphurs they were often silhouetted against the sky!
Hi Kathy, yes they can be!
Sensitive and beautiful!
