Who, besides me, loves clouds like this?
**********
The photo in the previous post, Hidden Silk, is a milkweed pods gone to seed. And the title Hidden Silk comes from the following poem:
SEPTEMBER
by: Helen Hunt Jackson (1830-1885)
HE golden-rod is yellow;- The corn is turning brown;
- The trees in apple orchards
- With fruit are bending down.
- The gentian's bluest fringes
- Are curling in the sun;
- In dusty pods the milkweed
- Its hidden silk has spun.
- The sedges flaunt their harvest,
- In every meadow nook;
- And asters by the brook-side
- Make asters in the brook.
- From dewy lanes at morning
- The grapes' sweet odors rise;
- At noon the roads all flutter
- With yellow butterflies.
- By all these lovely tokens
- September days are here,
- With summer's best of weather,
- And autumn's best of cheer.
- But none of all this beauty
- Which floods the earth and air
- Is unto me the secret
- Which makes September fair.
- 'T is a thing which I remember;
- To name it thrills me yet:
- One day of one September
- I never can forget.

I love the poem. And the clouds are spectacular! I don't think I have ever seen clouds like this
I love cloud pictures too. And nice poem about my favorite month.
The sky, the cloud, the trees in the distance... and a whole lot of corn! A beautiful image, Rose.
Oh I like that poem. I've never seen that one before.
Those clouds are amazing. I love them and wide open spaces.

I love these clouds and we do see them here in Florida. to see it like this there has to be miles of flat land, Ginny lives where there are hills and mountains. this is a fantastic capture and my first thought was Independance Day, the movie

I love wide open spaces, Rose. And I always enjoy seeing your cloud photos. It rained here recently, and the clouds always look so pretty after a rain.
Have a good rest of the week.

I love clouds like that. Your picture looks like one I would capture.
Wonderful poem. It reminds me of a song from Oklahoma. Great clouds hovering in the blue sky.
A beautiful poem that definitely gets me in the mood for this welcomed new season! A great sky that is so immense.
A magnificent composition of the road that goes to nowhere. I love these kind of scenes. The sky is incredible. Beautifully photographed. That is a lovely poem and perfect for the beginning of autumn.
A very nice poem.
That cloud looks like it is ready to fall out of the sky.
