If I remember well, the books say that clouds are formations of particles - such as dust or sea salt for example, which attract water vapour and thus rise until the vapour condenses and forms water droplets, which by the way are tiny. They float because they are so light, they mix with the air and so we see them as clouds floating in the sky. More or less this would be the explanation, which may be that I already explained it wrong... since it was a long time since I left the school desks.
My apologies if the clouds are formed in a different way... But leaving aside the possible scientific descriptions, I think most of us who have that imaginative side, or at least a bit artistic, could see shapes in the clouds that our eyes have already seen and then we make the connection.
It's an elephant or a dog... look at the other one - it looks like a dinosaur. {not that we have ever seen a real dinosaur though} Yes, yes, we all do it - or we have done it at some point in our lives and it is something really cool.
Even if you don't have that inclination toward clouds or don't want to apply your imagination, you can surely appreciate the beauty of these fluffy, scattered formations. The blue of the sky is always a calming background, necessary to see the contrast between these white illusions. It is like seeing a backdrop for our wandering souls, walking on the clouds, in a dreamlike illusion.
It is possible that up there is a place where reality is confused with fantasy; it may be that there is a hidden path that guides us to unknown but at the same time familiar places. I can't tell you with certainty. But what I can tell you is that this was a very familiar walking route for me, but the clouds added a different touch to pass through the paths between the orchards.
We were already going back home when I decided to capture a few of these scenes with fluffy clouds, and it turned out to be not just a few photos... sorry for this cloud overdose. 😁🌤 Time to change the focus to other details in this little walk; there was a tree with many little yellow flowers. It adopted a shape to leave space for the vehicles to pass under it.
Cats were not missing this time either. This kitty allowed me to get close and give her some cuddles although she was more interested in having a little nap. Maybe I was boring her so she yawned to let me know.
The lovely Nerium oleander plants tried to get some attention too. They grow here almost in every corner as they simply love this Mediterranean climate.
I love their scent but we should be careful when enjoying its smell. Did you know that it is quite toxic in case of ingestion?
Let's close this Wednesday Walk with the flowers of Nerium oleander and for safety reasons enjoy it just through the screen. 🌸
