John's Monday Photo Shoot begged for my attention. I love to photograph clouds. I have a boxful of cloud pictures taken in my pre-digital camera days, back when I had a 35mm, single-lense reflex, Ricoh camera. Loved that camera. It was heavy, but it took great pictures. I loved to sketch clouds when I was younger, the dramatic night time mountainous ones that build up over the Carolina coast, while my husband and son fished off the pier, pondering life's puzzles.
The only cloud pictures I have on my computer are the ones I took last May and June of 2005 while photographing our koi... I had noticed how clear the water was that day, and how the wispy clouds made for a fun challenge that reminded me of graphic artist MC Escher's print, The Three Worlds.
That was before I was aware of aol journals, before my ant habitat began, before I even knew there was such a thing as space age blue gel ant habitats, before I went to Pisgah Forest Institute to learn about microinvertebrates, light pollution, and The Lorax.
I didn't have a clue then that one day I'd be posting my digital pictures of our koi pond on the internet, in a public journal, for the blogging world to see.
Blogging has transformed me!

How lucky you are to have a koi pond in your yard! I'd love to hear more about your trip to the Forest Institute. The ant farm & taking the time to enjoy the clouds brings back memories. I think I'll go check out some clouds today! :)
