Sometimes the clouds look like
wild horses
thundering through the mountains and canyons
Sometimes the clouds look like
cotton candy frosting
on a light as air cupcake.

Keeping those in severe weather areas in prayer.
Wishing the wild, wild weather to become calm once again
and for their days to be much, much sweeter!

The photos of the wild, wild clouds and the cotton candy clouds were taken by me earlier this week.

Hi Maria.....happy weekend darling......love love beaurtiful pictures !!! amazing !!!....xxx..
ReplyDeleteOh yes my dear, yes; our weather on Sunday was so bad for our close neighbors on the North side of town, and now Oklahoma is suffering....God bless us all. Have a fabulous day and see you on Saturday; I hope Blogger behaves because I am having trouble entering some blogs! Blessings Anita
ReplyDeleteBirth pangs...that's what I'm seeing. Our tornado season doesn't get under way until June....I plan on taking refuge under His wings.
ReplyDeleteThose thundering wild horses came through here last night and took out the top of a large tree. Very minor happening though, compared to others in severe weather areas.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful pictures Maria. I love each one of them. Seeing them reminds of the greatness and power of God! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Those wild horses certainly came through here yesterday! It was a very tense and frightening time for a large part of Illinois. We got lucky, a few trees down in the area, a few hours in the dark...but, that was it! Love the photos and the way you think!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is and here today it's super wild...we need Spring..but I am not complaining, I don't have a right to after all they are going through!
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the wild horses is stunning, Maria.
ReplyDeleteOur sky is pretty dark and scary today, and so it will be tomorrow.
How is Jason doing in Texas, city of the star. Am I right? I saw many houses in the US with a big star on the wall. Have a terrific Thursday, a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend sweet friend.
I am cooking at the moment, tonight there is this parents meeting at school. No huge cups filled with tea and my favorite magazine for me tonight.
Lots of love o xx o
Beautiful post but your "light as air cupcake" reminded me of my mom many years ago when she joined TOPS--"Take off pounds sensibly" --she was told that those "light as air" cream puffs she so enjoyed were adding tons of weight to her frame--
ReplyDeleteThings are not always as they seem although you seem to be able to "get away" with the sweet eating. Don't know how you stay so little.
Thanks for thinking of us here in Little Rock--we had four killed in our state in the last 24 hours--Joplin is about a four to five hour drive from us--not far--! My heart is broken for them.
My kids in Tulsa had a close scare night before last but are safe and sound.
Thanks dear Maria for your love and concern.
Wow - those wild wild skies are phenomenal!
ReplyDeletePrayer for people tossed about by such-looking clouds... I have family living in a shelter who will go home soon to find out if their home is still there. I join you in prayer!
ReplyDeleteLovely post.
I've thought of horses too. Happy sky watching!

Very creative and artistic sequence. The clouds look like wild horses.
ReplyDeleteAmazing clouds. Great capture of the lightning.
ReplyDeleteWonderful capture of the lightning! You were brave to be out in thee storm.
ReplyDeleteWow so beautiful. I can see those horses too in that cloud. Stunning.
ReplyDeleteSuperb captures and post for the day! I, too, can see the horses and I love them. The weather has been frightening in so many places. I hate to whine about just rain and gray skies! Hopefully the warmth and beauty of spring will help heal the horror of such violent weather that so many have experienced this year! Stay safe and dry and enjoy a lovely weekend!

The horses made me smile. Lovely photos, very kind words, too.
ReplyDeleteAw, this made me smile!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent shots, I like your cupcake clouds.
ReplyDeleteThose horses and the lightning are amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh, Maria - after that last photo, I looked back at all the clouds, and they're all looking like cupcakes to me!
ReplyDeleteI like those billowing cumulus--you know lightning is coming!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful post! My thoughts and prayers are with those hit by the affects of bad weather. May God be with them and comfort them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your wonderful thoughts and photos with us. I love your dish washing photo...it is so cute!!!
Blessings for a lovely weekend, sweet Maria.
xoxo...Gloria
Really neat photos of the clouds. The wild horse is incredible. Like Gloria, I always think of God when I see incredible clouds and sky. Yes- praying for those affected by storms.
ReplyDeleteOh yes me must keep those sweet folks in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteNow PLEASE tell me about that sweet cupcake...one of the most adorable ones I have ever seen. xoxoxo hugs my sweet friend.

Re "B SQUARED" - like you, «Louis» misses his blog and comments. He doesn't know all the details, but «Louis» does know that (as the saying goes) "life intervened" and "B SQUARED" found that he no longer had time to blog and comment. «Louis» remains hopeful that one day soon "B SQUARED" will once again cruise by in the FTLDP Staff Limo, a.k.a. Yugo, and greet his many friends in the Blogosphere.
Beautiful and exciting skies...my prayers too are with those facing devastation from ferocious weather.
ReplyDeleteGrand set of images!! That lightning strike is huge!
ReplyDeleteOh my Maria, what outstanding sky shots.
ReplyDeleteThat cupcake looks so delicious.
Have a great weekend.
What variants of weather!
