I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

The same kind of clouds have been hovering the skies of Singapore lately. Which is kinda dampening of the spirit for the kids whom are having their vacation.

Great sky. Beautiful colors.
These are pretty pictures, Gemma.
It's always nice to see the clouds drifting in all kinds of white, blue and grey.

Hi Gemma, I never tire of watching the clouds. And cloud pictures, yours are soooooo nice.
Did you ever just lay on your back and watch the clouds when you were young? Call for help though, if you catch me doing that ever again (unless with a grandkid).
:-)
