The photos make me think of how the strength and fierceness of the wind and water dancing a slow waltz.

Preparing the earth for the dancing of tears.

Opening the flowers for the wealth of nourishment.

Dancing.

Looking at them clouds especially the onez with the glorious Light above and darkness below reminded me of the LORD when He made darkness His secret place; His pavilion round about Him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies as described in Psalm 18.
At the brightness, that was before Him His thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

Kinda like when we're in desperate need of God's help, He rides on clouds of darkness, which only look dark from our vantage point BUT above them clouds rides the Most Sovereign to the rescue.
Faith sees beyond the darkness of the clouds thru to the Light above kinda like ur pictures. That's what came to my mind.

I guess, in a nutshell, even when it's dark and threatening, we shouldn't despair coz there's a champion to the rescue.

In God we trust

As it says in Romans 1, we are without an excuse for not believing in God, just look around at His creation. There are beauty and wonder all around us. Your blog is a wonderful way to reach people for the Lord, by the way!

P.S. This grandma has to agree with Cheri0, you have beautiful kiddos!! You are blessed indeed!

In each of those pictures, the clouds appear to tell us that what goes up must come down and visa versa.

There are bad times, but then times get better as well. In each of the pictures, there is a hint of brightness peaking down from behind the clouds. Perhaps the darkness that is about to go away symbolizes some of the bad times that the world has gone through (war, lacking economy, gas prices, etc).

The brightness, in each one of your pictures, might just indicate what is to come for us in terms of positive momentum for the world. For the earth.

The clouds could also be providing a significant hint, one that is perhaps sadly overlooked by many, that there is something better for us in the next life, if we live right in this life.

I see the silver lining!

Good answer miz! I'm a cloud/sky watcher too. Guess I gave my answer in the previous post. Have you ever seen "Interview With God"?
Found a similar short Web film yesterday. It is filled with pictures of nature's beauty. I think you will like it, it's a blessing. Reading your earlier posts, about being the instrument of positive change, really want to share the blessing with you. (the creator of film asked us to do so)

The Clouds gathered in obedience to the storm. Their ominous presence was intended to strike fear, confusion and doubt on its victims. They used their gailing winds to attempt to wreak havoc on the ones that sought shelter. On and on they continued to howl to incite chaos, but there were a few that could not be moved.

Those few were the ones that had been through these storms of life. They had seen mighty winds and rains, but their faith was not shaken. They knew that at the given time a rainbow of promise would follow. Their God would once again raise the sun to shine. The clouds continued their barrage with the accompaniment of heavy rains, but in the end they parted and the light shined brightly. They were the survivors that would encourage, edify and inspire others to persevere and be triumphant.

This is the story of my life.

Be blessed...

I saw somthing quite different in the clouds of the top picture. I am a fine artist, and I tend to think visually first. If you look just off center (to the right), and a little down from the top, there is a dog/wolf/bear face, highly detailed in the clouds. There are 3 other images as well in this amazing photo of yours Hammer.
I actually made up a special demo page to easily spot all of the images.—one of my demos uses an animate gif. http://www.rcmfineart.com/hammer.html

Check them out, I think you'll find it very entertaining.

Texas Hold'em is the most popular poker game in the world. Almost all the major tournaments are played in this version. You can use the set betting limits or no limit play. The basic rules of the game are relatively simple and can learn quite quickly, but in the achievement of mastery can take a long time. This article presents the most important rules of Texas Hold'em poker.
GAME
In Texas Hold'em usually plays in a standard 52 card deck. The game can participate from two to ten people. Before the start you need to determine which player will be a symbolic "dealer" in the hand. This does not mean that the player actually has to deal cards (online cards are dealt automatically and casinos deal with the dealers). Place this player marked a special ring (called "dealer button" or "button"). It lists which players must pay for their blinds (called "blinds"). These plants are the nucleus of the pot, so that every hand is "anything to win". Always two players must pay the first blind bets (they are put into the pot before the players see their cards). One person pays the "small blind" (called "small blind"), and another on the left - the "big blind" (called the "big blind"), usually two times the small blind. What symbolic hand dealer is changing, so that each of the players from time to time is the dealer, paid a small and big blind - all at the same frequency. Gratis bonos poker

When the blinds are already in the pot, every player gets two cards face down. These are the player's hole cards (called "hole cards"), for inspection only to the owner and he can only use them in the game. Then the middle of the table is gradually taught the five community cards that all players can use to create the best hand. Of the seven cards available to make the best possible five-card hand.
ROUND FOUR AUCTION
Before the flop (PRE-FLOP) - first round of betting. All play that occurs before detection of the first three community cards (the "flop") are referred to as "pre-flop". Players are watching their hole cards and have a chance to play first.
The player sitting to the left of the person who paid the big blind, the first decision. This item is called "under the gun" (literally "under the gun" / "under the gun"). This is because it is the worst in terms of decision-making.
Each player has at this stage to play the following options:
Belt / fitting of / Reset card (called fold): Playing it means giving up the game later in the hand and muck. Match, you lose the right to the money inserted into the pot, even if you have paid the blinds.
Check (called call): Playing it means that the alignment of early plant you want to continue playing the hand. Remember that after the flop will also be able "to wait" (called "check"), if no one before you has not paid the first bet.
Skewer (called raise): Playing it means that you want to place a bet higher than its predecessor. If your round of betting nobody else's set, your play will not puncture, only placing a bet (ang "bet").
