I can move any mountain.
By Silver Blue
Well, not really.
But going to work today was an awesome thing, because of the cloud formations in the sky.
We’d had a storm that dropped in excess of 2″ of rain on the area, and while it had not fully cleared out, the cloud line … looked like mountains.
The cloud line has not been manipulated; in fact, I shot this with my Samsung Android phone this morning.
I’d not seen anything this “defined” in quite some time. Made it look like, instead of driving toward the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, we were heading for the mountains.
While the clouds in this formation didn’t seem to drop any additional rain on us, later in the day, other clouds did. All a matter of capturing what there is, with what you have.

Nothing’s Indestructible

Whatever you do, wherever you go, never think that just because you don’t have the best camera with you that you can’t take pictures. These were taken with a Blackberry cell phone, and while they may not be able to be blown up to 11×14 size, the moments and emotions that were captures are moments that I’m glad I didn’t let pass me by just because “I don’t have a real camera with me.”
I’ve often said that the way to tell how much you love someone is not by what they help you become, but by WHO you ARE when you’re with them.
I don’t even recall where these were taken. It may have been in my parent’s yard, it may have been at work. But the colours brought me joy and happiness, and still do.
This was shot on a lazy, hot summer afternoon in my own backyard. While not what a southerner would want when asking for a “Mimosa”, it is, and the soft, wispy flowers are so delicate and pretty…until they start to fade. Then, they’re excessively unattractive.
Shot out of the kitchen window at my parents house, I probably could have manipulated contrast to make the sky more vivid or interesting — but, as is the case with all these photos, what you see is what was shot.
I love clouds. The way they shift shape, and are just, to me, so very serene.
Finally…

I see dark clouds out my window…

…but every time it rains, I fall to pieces, so many memories the rain releases…I feel you, I taste you, I cannot forget…every time it rains… I get wet…*
Storm shots to me are the hardest thing to take because there’s no advance warning on lightning. So, here are four of the better ones (two with, two without lightning):
Silver Blue, thankful I’ve got, in my heart, someone who gives me shelter on a rainy day.
