Clouds

When photographing nature or anything outside for that matter, clouds can make the image. Imagine the image below without the clouds....not as nice a photo.

Clouds add texture to a grey sky. They add interest to a blue sky. Clouds are very characteristic. Each day they are different. Somedays they look thick enough to walk on and some days they are just wisps in the sky. Clouds can also make interesting reflections in the window of buildings or in water, pond, stream, lake or puddle. They sometimes are dense enough to cast shadows. 

I remember as a child, laying on my back in the grass looking up at the sky trying to conjure up characters out of the shapes in the clouds. So now I always check the sky for cloud condition. 

Now that's a cloud!
