Wondrous Waves


Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea,
at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean,
at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves
without wondering.
~St. Augustine


These clouds looked like big waves crashing into the farmers fields.
It was completely mesmerizing to watch.

All that space! There's nothing as freeing, I think, as the prairie...

I've never seen cloud formations like this before. They remind me of whipped cream.

Good observation! Some people might not have 'seen' that. And how true the accompanying quote!

Thank you for your kind words on my blog-- kind words are always appreciated, but even more so when given by someone with your incredible talent! Your blog is just lovely. I've never seen "waves" of clouds before!
