If you have seen the movie "The Girl with the Pearl Earring" during the conversation when the character artist, Johannes Vermeer and the maid discuss the subtle colours of clouds .. she came to realize how truly complex the make up of colours in the clouds were .. well these clouds I saw the other day reminded me of that .. what we think of as simple . most times they are far more detailed.
Click on them to see all the different shades of light and colour.

Those clouds speak DRAMA to me. They're amazing. Love the soft salmon colored flowers too. Very good capture.
Gorgeous flowers, beautiful color and a terrific shadow shot for the day! And I love the clouds! I do a lot of cloud and sky watching in my world these days and always find them to be amazing! Lovely post for the day! Hope you're enjoying a wonderful weekend!

Lovely little flowers! The cloudscapes are wonderful.
Beautiful-the flowers and the clouds.
The miscanthus are lovely, and we still have a few more warmer days to look for flowers and shadows. We need some warm weather flora for at least a little more...
The blue sky is beautiful yet can be monotonous. Happily, the billowy clouds arrived just in time for the intrepid shadow chaser. The subtleties of color is amazing, and the moisture in the clouds combines well with the sun. It is as if each cloud at any given moment has the moisture laden prisms changing the hue constantly. A great sky!
The little flowers seem to be perfectly willing to invite shadows into their hearts, because they have a lot of light to spare!
FOR LOVE OF SHADOW
Tell your shadow that you love her,
Spurn your shadow, if you dare.
Keep your shadow out of darkness,
Keep her in the sun’s harsh glare!

I love the first photo. It is beautiful. But the cloud photos really made me think. And they are also beautiful.

your post reminds me of this song my joni mitchell.
Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere, i've looked at cloud that way.
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things i would have done but clouds got in my way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions i recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.
great photos/post.
Beautiful!
I love your collage above.
