Yesterday's rainbow, a sign of God's mercy.

'And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, went up into the mountain: and he was there forty days, and forty nights.'

Exodus 24:18

'I am brought to nothing: as a wind thou hast taken away my desire: and my prosperity hath passed away like a cloud.'

Job 30:15

Thank you Mark, I will continue a bit then for a time God willing. It's good to hear other folks like the clouds too.

These are all from quite recently. The first one is one of those I keep a special look for, the ones that look like veils or wings. I also look for times when you can see the light coming down through the clouds.

The previous rainbow photo might not show up colors wise properly on all monitors. I don't have a photographer's color corrected monitor and I took that photo without seeing the rainbow, I only saw it afterwards. This happens though rarely, I will find a rainbow, or a plane or a bird later that I could not see or overlooked in the viewfinder. Clouds move swiftly at times and you have to be quick, though no where near as swift as trying to shoot birds which is like hunting quite thrilling at times.

I used to habitually have a larger viewer attached to the top of my camera which helped a lot but these days I try to have a smaller, less conspicuous kit.

Deo gratias et Marie semper Virgini.

No, I never use one for sky photos. It's only for seeing through water.. but that's so rare I may sell it. I never use filters really, I have one for astro -- but still too much light here. If I ever move again I will take a look at the light pollution map and prioritize those locations. I'd like to do a lot of astrophotography.

I do put the best clear filters on for lens protection that's about it.

Clouds from Our Lady's Nativity.. a few days ago, the 8th.

Just a few more. . .

Some softer clouds.. most from the evening of yesterday and today. .
















'And blessed is he that shall not be scandalized in me. And when they went their way, JESUS began to say to the multitudes of John: What went you out into the desert to see? a reed shaken with the wind? But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are clothed in soft garments are in Kings houses. But what went you out to see? a Prophet? Yea, I tell you and more than a Prophet. For this is he whom it is written, "Behold I sent mine angel before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee."'

Matthew 11:6-10

'But our Lord answering Job out of a whirlwind, said: Who is this that wrappeth in sentences with unskillful words? Gird thy loins as a man: I will ask thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me if thou hast understanding. Who set the measures thereof, if thou know: or who stretched out the line upon it? Upon what are the foundations thereof grounded? or who laid down the corner stone thereof, when the morning stars praised me together, and all the sons of God made jubilation? Who shut in the sea with doors when it brake forth, proceeding as it were out of a matrice. When I made a cloud the garment thereof, and wrapped it in darkness as in clouts of infancy. I compassed it with my bounds, and put bar and doors. And I said, Hitherto thou shalt come, and shalt not proceed farther, and here thou shalt break thy swelling waves. Didst thou after thy birth command the morning, and shew the dawning his place?'

Job 38:1-12

You're welcome my friend.

It's a rare pleasure finding people who appreciate looking at the heavens.

The first image from the 8th is a special one.

Everyone sees different things in clouds. I actually rarely look for more than the aesthetic beauty of the clouds, but sometimes I find more than hidden planes or birds or rainbows.
