July 12: Summer clouds
Kristen Lindquist
During this idyllic spell of summer weather, the clouds have been spectacular--big, fluffy cumulus clouds that roll across the sky's blue canvas, adding texture and dimension to its bright expanse without lingering too long, blocking the sun, or releasing any rain.
Blue screen, white brushstrokes--
a folding Japanese screen,
"Sky with clouds and birds."
