For this post, I’m showing several pictures with clouds as a major element. The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge this week is to post quotes illustrated with your photos.
The first one shows a view of Red Canyon in Utah. The quote seemed to fit this picture perfectly.
May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.
Edward Abbey
I took the next picture in my backyard in Bend. The nighttime rainbow magically appeared in this image taken with my phone.
There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
George Carlin
I took this picture of a tree in my yard in winter. My juniper tree muse looks beautiful with a coating of snow.
In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they’re still beautiful.
Alice Walker
The next picture was taken on the Oregon coast, south of Seaside. Misty clouds collect along the shoreline.
Change is the only constant. Learn to surf your life instead of planting your feet.
Amy Poehler
I took the next picture on top of Steens Mountain in Oregon. The yellow aspen leaves contrasted well with the blue skies and puffy white clouds.
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
George Eliot
I took the last picture from my house of a sliver of sunset in the final moments of a day. My drone captured great pictures of the setting sun and dark clouds over volcanoes in the Cascade Range.
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
Steve Martin

Beautiful collection of quotes and images.
Thanks, Beth!
Amazing captures with equally amazing quotes. The night rainbow capture and the George Carlin quote is a perfect pair
Thank you, Hammad! I had fun searching for quotes. 🙂
Your quotes are so appropriate for your photos, Siobhan. My favorite is the autumn scene, but your opening photo is perfect for that quote as well.
Thanks, John! Finding appropriate photos and quotes was challenging but fun. 😀
What a wonderful set! The choice to feature clouds was excellent. I loved that Abbey quote. He must have been thinking of your photo.
Thank you, Egidio! Yes, that was a great quote for my picture.
Wonderful choices this week Siobhan. Thanks for the smile in your Steve Martin quote. One of my all-time favorite comedians. All of the images and their matching quotes are wonderful and show how in touch you are with nature’s bounty. Terrific!
Thanks, Tina! I featured quotes from three authors and three comedians, but only the one from Steve Martin was funny. I thought it was a good way to end the post. 😀
Great quotes, perfectly illustrated! The first pair stand out for me – the quote from Edward Abbey is inspiring and your photo is beautiful!
Thank you, Sarah! Glad you liked the Abbey quote and my photo. 🙂
Your last quote made me smile, Siobhan while the other ones made me think and inspired me. Can’t really ask for more!
Thanks, Sofia! I wanted to end the post with a touch of humor. 😀
