The rain came but it was brief and sadly, far too little to mitigate the effect of growing wildfires. It is so unsettling to witness such dramatic and precipitous change in this area that was known not long ago at all as the "Wet Coast." 🙏😢

*Clouds* Clouds of creation On a Sunday afternoon Shapeshifters abound Angels in the sky Perhaps announcing a shift From the prolonged drought Cherubs and fairies Cherished ones gone before us Smiling from above Unicorns and pegasi Play hide-and-seek in the clouds Mythical marvels In the sky of blue I keep looking for a clue To help me find you I know you are near You are never far from me Abiding this world The shapes keep shifting Introducing such new beings So fascinating This myriad of clouds Awakens my mind to much Imagination In amongst the clouds One can drift away to sleep In serenity With skies such as this I have no need of Netflix Nor of its kinfolk I am fortunate Ever since I remember Clouds riveted me © Regis Auffray

A true reflection of the fun and fascination of cloud watching, there is a whole new world of imagery and beauty when one looks up to the sky and lets their imagination fly.

I used to believe that clouds were the original etch-a=skech. A real etch-a-skech had little wheels that you were supposed to be able to create beautiful pictures with. Yeah, never happened. In some strange way, however, while lying in a green field on a warm sunny day, I had better luck using my imagination to "create" wonderous pictures with clouds.

MOVING ALONG TO THE LAST ONE ON TOP...I SEE AN UNDERSEA WORLD. THE MIDDLE PICTURE IN THE OTHER ROW IS DEFINITELY A HOVERING UFO. AND THE ONE TO ITS R...A BAND OF SOARING ANGELS. THANKS FOR THE 'CLOUDS', MY FRIEND. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Yes, clouds have that magical shape shifting ability to do whatever our imagination sees in them. He reminded me of that classic song out of Saskatoon, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell. Once sent it to my girlfriend hoping that it would help bring her back to me from Canada, but it didn't.

We had the same experience, a bit of thunder and the couple of drops on me when I was out sunning for 10 minutes, all I can stand in 102� heat. Over a month without rain, scorching temperatures and burn bans throughout the whole state of Texas.

This is so true! Nothing better than lying in the grass on a warm day looking up at the skies and let the imagination drift along with the clouds. Well written!

us. Your poetry is a breath of fresh air, I love the blue writing
