These photos are untouched. They are mystifying to me. I have watched the clouds all my life. Until I started taking pictures with my digital camera two years ago--I don't remember ever seeing square shapes in the clouds before. It is a mystery and oddly disconcerting.
I love Natural Moments suspicion that you are somehow creating the scenes you record out of the desire for the unique and wonderful. You are a cloud magician. I can't wait to see what you conger next.
When I see something unexpected, unusual, or beautiful, my focus involuntarily suddenly sharpens and intensifies. The sensation tickles! That's when I say something "fills my eyes." It is the greatest compliment I can give.

Welcome to my World
I have always loved taking pictures. I took my first and only photography class at West Linn High. The photo lab was located in the bowels of the school near the gym's locker rooms. There we learned to manage typical dark room techniques and procedures for developing film.
Things have radically changed since those days. Today's technology no longer requires pungent trays of chemicals and a dark room.
With the invention of the digital camera, I was set free to capture the amazing, unusual and the unexpected. My camera is always by my side.
I never know when, or where I will be able to capture some delicate beauty, or unexpected oddity.
Welcome to my world!
Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented dazzlement of surprise.

I am interested in people, stories, art, drama, music, nature, and photography.
I love to photograph the forest, my garden, birds of all kinds, the river, my town, our historical home, the ocean and so much more. The stories one can find are endless.
The seasons of nature are fascinating to me. Every year, time and the seasons seem to vibrate with increasing intensity

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.-- Mark Twain

Hah! The Truth Is Out There!!!
Amazing clouds, sissie.
Resistance is Fu-Tile!!!
So you are the one who is creating all the shapes and textures in the clouds. :)
Fun! I see a heart in the second last photo. I had to come back here and let you know.
How amazing! I love to cloud watch myself but I don't think I've ever seen a square in the sky before. I'm going to be on the lookout now! :)
I am not nuts about clouds so I quit the Skywatch a long time ago. I mean I ran out of skys. None were as nice as your post.

I've never seen this before either! I'll have to pay more attention to the clouds from now on.
Amazing, I've never seen a box in the sky! With clouds I always make associations... how about "fiar and square", or "think outside the box"?
Definitely square. I love it when a dry slot takes shape. Interesting.
Never thought I'd see a square in the clouds, either.
I also saw a heart in the second to last photo.
