Evening clouds

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

  Had to get a photo to go with the quote I found! I’m always amazed at the colours of the evening sky here.

  Thought I’d give everybody some time off from spiders and predators. Can’t scare my readers every day! 🙂

Nice. I’m glad no spiders but I found a snail on my ceiling this morning!

  Thanks! If you are missing the spiders (a snail is just not in the same league!), go and check out these cute little spiderlings (the name for baby spiders) here: http://cloudedmarbles.wordpress.com/2011/03/30/from-ling-to-full-grown/

  Thanks! Since I can’t write poetry, I have to “steal” from others!

Beautiful! Every cloud has a silver lining. 🙂

  Thanks! I just couldn’t resist taking a photo yesterday evening. We usually have reddish/orange/gold sunsets here. Last night the sky was a combination of deep blues and purples.
  
  I’ve got a lot of favourite quotes that I’m looking for an opportunity to post!
