Do you stare at clouds?

I am going to end up walking into a tree someday as I stare up into the sky and marvel at the beauty above us...I have since childhood been fascinated by the clouds,sun, moon and the beautiful creations floating above me...I used to lay in my parent's backyard and watch for hours when I was very young..identifying shapes, playing our scenarios...it is moving art as I see it...One of my favorite things to do at the beach is to sit in the dunes and watch the clouds over the ocean...and the sunsets are awesome to behold..I have had those moments you speak of..the ones that you really want time to stop and record for you...One of the most moving ones happened in Alaska last year...my husband's brother passed away unexpectedly 10 days after his wife did...they were both under 50 years old..it was tragic...we went to Alaska to take care of his things. We followed his wishes and he was cremated. His fishing buddies took us out on a huge commercial fishing boat that he had worked on for years and we dumped his ashes at sea...they estimated the tides and told us that "he" would arrive back in the fishing village at about sunset...after all the ceremonial things were done my husband and I returned to his house and began again our task. Just before sunset we hopped in the car and drove to the beach that was his brother's favorite evening spot..we walked among the huge rocks and sat down to watch what was appearing to be a beautiful sunset...and we were not disappointed..the sky turned bright pink and gold and eventually a deep red...and in the middle of it all...as we sat and pondered his life we looked up to see the clouds in a perfect formation of 3 letters...they were his initials..and glowing brightly in the sky..we quickly took a picture..but it had faded a bit...we had both noticed it at the same time..it was an awesome moment...and we had captured it to a degree on film...we lingered for awhile and when darkness fell we returned to his house..the phone was ringing off the hook...friends of his had seen the same thing...they too had tried to photograph it...we were in awe that evening..and wanted time to truly stand still so we could not only drink in the beauty of the glorious sunset..but the moment of respect and acknowledgement that the brother was home again..it was sunset and the tides had returned him to his favorite beach...it is forever implanted in my memory and I wish it could have lasted for hours...Thanks for asking..and letting me share...:)

You sound to be a Pretty artistic mind ehh? I do watch the clouds to see how they are moving and some times i figure out some interesting shapes in the clouds. Some times i just forget where i am and stare at the moving clouds. One more thing i stare at is in autumn season flowers falling from the tree. Thats really such a nice scenic experience which i wont miss.

I love the scenery of clouds moving and forming different shapes.. I have lots of pictures of them whenever I visit parks near our house. Even when I was a little, usually by afternoon before the sunset I will climb our roof and watch the sky with different shape of clouds and its changing color to orange to magenta after the sun is down.

If you ever go to the beach or anywhere that you can do what you want, take a moment to look at the clouds. It is very relaxing because of the shapes and our imagination. I have seen trees and flowers in the clouds. It is very relaxing to just look at the sky with a friend. And you are right, sometimes if you look up at the sky on a busy day it can be very relaxing and calming. Pablo

I stare at the sky all the time, not just the clouds. But, it's going to get me in trouble one day, because I look up and day dream when I really should be paying attention sometimes. It's fun to see the shapes that the clouds take, and the colors in the sky during sunrise and sunset can be absolutely captivating. There was one time in particular where I just had to close my eyes to take a mental picture, and capture it forever. My husband, who was my fiance at the time, were at the beach visiting some friends, and we were getting ready for a bonfire that evening. Well, it had been somewhat of a cloudy day, but at sunset, the sun was peaking through the clouds in such a way that you could only see its rays jutting through. And a few moments later, the clouds seemed to clear to make way for the sun, and it looked like the sun was surrounded my leions of angels. A few moments after that, the sky was filled with brilliant colors of orange and gold. I wish I could live in those few moments forever. Everything seemed so perfect. And the sun seemed to be carressing the earth, ever-so-gently.

I star at clouds sometimes. You'll be amaze at the things that you see in the sky. When I was younger, i remember I saw a dragon in the cloud. I still remember it to this day, it was the strangest thing that I've seen. It looked so real, and it moved faster then the other clouds in the sky. I was so mesmerized by it, and I still wonder to myself what the heck it was that I say that day, because there was a ball of light that this dragon shaped cloud was following. This was during the day time, so when I saw it, I thought there was two suns in the sky. I think I saw a UFO that day....

Yes I love watching clouds float by and try to figure what is in them , I try to imagine angels and animals etc. You know what I mean LOL LOL LOL ...I used to lay in the grass just to be able to stare at them for hours . Thanks for brining this up .

I love looking at the sky. The clouds and colors are so beautiful. I am posting a photo I took from my back yard.

I love clouds. They are a wonder of nature. You can see all sorts of things in clouds. I love nature in general, but clouds are a favorite to me. I have over 130 photos of clouds that I have taken, some are sunsets but most are just clouds. I said this photo makes me feel scared but I loaded the wrong one. This is a good one though.

I look at the clouds and stare at them all of the time in the summer. We like to go swimming in our swimming pool in the summer time and we will stand around the sides of the pool sometimes and try and guess what each cloud looks like. Some of them look like many different shapes. some look like shapes of animals or just the head of one. It is often quite amazing the shapes that the clouds take. Alot of them are very beautiful to look at and when one meets another one, a whole new shpe is formed. I get lost in amazement also when I look at the clouds. I love looking at the solar system also because of its bright beauty and it truly does amaze me.

I think staring at the clouds is cool, when you are really chilling out and taking things easy. It's amazing to watch them as they morph and change shape, I also think it's quite creative to be able to make things out of the cloud formations, shapes, faces and things like that. Of course, living in the UK we have too much cloud, too much of the grey overcast days, best ones are the fluffy clouds in a blue sky

I love looking at clouds and analyzing them. Just one of God's gifts to us, and to help our imagination grow. I have seen everything pretty much when looking at the clouds. I have seen all sorts of objects, faces, animals, scenes, and sites that can't even be explained, but mean something to me indvidually. I especially love doing it with someone and pointing out what you see and what they see. I am a day dreamer, and looking at clouds takes me places within my own person heart and soul. It is almost like a personal relationship. I believe that we all need to do it, as it develops creativity and helps bring out the best in ones mind. So take time and enjoy the clouds.

I'm always staring at clouds. I love the sunset clouds. They are always so darn beautiful. I will sit there and try to see what shapes the clouds look like. I have seen a pig in the sky believe it or not. Too bad it wasn't flying . Then I could say " I have seen a pig fly". LOL This is such a great discussion. That is really neat what your imagination saw. Imagination is a wonderful thing! You just proved it to be perfect!!! Have a great night!

Well truthfully no but I use to when I was a roofer. When the boss left me alone on the roof and I finished everything he wanted I would grab a seat and just sit in the sun staring at the sky and the clouds. It use to be so relaxing.

when my sisters and i where younger, we had a great back yard, so we would lie on our backs for hours and find pictures within the clouds. it was funny at times but interesting to see how many things they can make

Oh yes a lot of times I find myself staring up at the clouds especially when they move I find it very fasinating, and I have done this since I was a very young little girl. I have done this now for many years at the world how it is made is so wonderful and I imagine pictures in the clouds. No I cannot imagine what you seen but I have imagined other things in the sky. But yes when I find myself stary at the sky I wish I could stay there but then I only seem to stare for around 5-10 minutes at a time.

You know, I used to do that when I was a child. I do not do so anymore. Maybe it's because of lack of time. But I do have to let my imagination run free and relax a bit. :)

My most treasured moment was in deed the first look into my first borns eyes. I could have freeze framed that moment if at all possible, but in a way I'm happy I didn't for I have had another simular moment with my second born and then theres the moments when the kids are in bed and my husband and I are snuggling on the couch watching a movie, and you think, wow! I could stay right here in these arms forever. So there are so many moments I cherish dearly and views that I will never forget, like the first year in our house overlooking the river, we live in a cedar house with large windows that face the river in the backyard, we have just over an acre of land, and the first year here was amazing, it was winter and everything was covered in snow, and a family of eagles, there were 3 of them would fish the river and rest in the large trees in perfect view from the living room, we would spend countless hours in just aw as these massive birds would swoop down and come up with large salmon. They still fish the river and now we have 5 of them, but its normal now, we have deer and elk walk through the back yard and we don't think twice, but I tell you that first year here, we were like little kids glued to the window.

What a wonderful discussion topic! I love clouds. I love to look at them, photograph them and paint them. Today while I was driving I saw a cloud with a rainbow edge, i.e., it had rainbow colors on the edges of it. The most memorable, beautiful moment I ever experienced was when I was traveling in Europe. I got up at sunrise to see the Matterhorn without the clouds covering it. That mountain is so beautiful I cried looking at it.

yes i do stare at clouds...its like imagination grows bountiless....i often lie on my back and stare at the sky ...the moving clouds...they merge into each other.they come over the sun and go pass it...its very relaxing and re-energising...it helps to empower my mind...fill it with a new spark...sometimes in our love when we are alone or sad we go to nature for peace and motivatio..
