BEDM 14: Top tips?

Er- I was a bit stumped for this prompt for today's blog post?  I'm not sure I am an expert in anything that might be interesting to the general masses.  I've already done a post on tips for parents thinking about starting their child off on an instrument if you want to see it here. It's very comprehensive and full of sensible advice which is a rarity in this here blog!  I have nothing to add to advice about blogging, charity shops, clothing, crafting, photographing, waffling that you don't already know and Grandmother already knows how to suck eggs!

So, hmmmmm, what shall I talk about?

I know!!!!

It's time for a bit of Cloud spotting!!  This post should really be entitled 'What is it? #31?' but I'm hoping to trick some people into reading this post  who would otherwise ignore it thinking I'm a twit (you know who you are!!!!)  and then they'll feel guilty about the fact I AM HIGHLY OFFENDED that you usually shun it, and hence join in!!!  ;-)


So, above, is a cloud. Yes, that's right. It is a cloud. BUT BUT BUT, it is a cloud that resembles something other than condensed waterdroplets SO to join in, please leave me a comment below telling me what you believe it looks like? This one is reaaaaally clear methinks!
To give you some ideas of what my lovely imaginative commenters thought last time, let's look at
What is it? #30


I thought this looked like a couple of people's heads, leaning backwards like reclining in a chair. To the right is a character with a quiff hair, bulgy eyes, large nose and pursed lips with a pointy chin. It reminded me of the character Wendelina from Wallis and Gromit. To her left, is an old, bald gentleman with a short wrinkled forehead and fluffy eyebrows.  He too has a large nose and his mouth is open guffawing at whatever show they are watching!

 There's an ingenious selection of opinions from the audience below:

   At the risk of showing myself two times in a row for the complete nerd that I am...Iron Man's gauntlet, palm open with the repulsor ray in the middle.

   Why off course this is a couple looking up and to the right, to about 2:00. The woman's silhouette is behind the man's silhouette. ???

   Call me crazy :) but I see someone inside an ethereal atmosphere, trying to think of life and meditate a bit - there's an open eye inside, just peeping at what the world, to make sure she is still alive. OMG, I am kind of crazy today!

   The top cloud looks like two sea otters floating on their backs!

    I see a troll trying to punch his way out of a heap of snow that's fallen on him. You can see his head and one arm punching on the right - the rest is still buries. Above him there is what looks like 2 fat arms, so maybe somebody else got buried as well?

    I'm really not seeing anything today : ( There's good symmetry going on at the right hand side of the cloud, but I can't depict anything sadly.

There's some great ideas here. Most in tune with me were Julia with her man with furrowed brow (Julia often sees the same in clouds as me) and Melanie who got it spot on with her couple, woman behind man!)

I'd LOVE it if you joined in! DO leave a comment if you like!
And I've thought of a tip from my very special area of expertise.

How to find pictures in clouds.
You need find a day when there are big fluffy clouds, possibly cumulus, cumulostratus and cumulo nimbus types where there are gaps in the sky. The sky generally needs to be blue, not grey- I never see anything on grey days.  I don't see much when we've had Cirrocumulus or Cirrus-stratus clouds.Not sure what these are? Check google search here.  Look for lone clouds or edges of clouds, particularly when you can see some gaps or darker patches- these often suggest 3D detail.  Chances are, you'll see faces, shapes, animals, particular characters. I saw Miss Piggy in a cloud once!!!!
Early evening, around 5.30-6pm is often a good time, particularly on days where the sun is streaming through the clouds towards sunset in the evening- especially those orange and red clouds. Have a look and see what you can see!
