Gorilla in the Midst of Clouds

Have you seen the movie Gorilla in the Mist? Well, this isn't really anything to do with that.

I was staring out the window again... But look at it; how can you blame me for getting drawn in. *chuckle* Okay, that's too lame. I'm not a gorilla.

Anyway, I certainly needed a bit of inspiration and comfort, and clouds have never failed to be my quiet companions. Melbourne is big sky country - on the coast of a continent and relatively flat compared to Wellington. The clouds formations are so different here.

(close up) Doesn't it look like a gorilla sleeping, resting its head on something?

Do you have anything around you that you like to watch/stare at when you feel uninspired?

Hope you all had a great Easter holiday. Mine needed an extension...but never mind.

Melbourne is lovely but it certainly had been nice to be home for Easter. I forgot how beautiful Wellington can be, particularly on a sunny day (not to mention how much I missed my old bed and pillow). Here are some photographs from one of our walks on Oriental Parade. My apologies for the poor quality; we only had the little camera on us, and its lens had a couple of smudges! So, I had to crop the photos as well.

It was the clouds that first caught my attention.
Always love looking at cloud formations... and,
of course, the seagull knew I was taking a photo and had great timing.
Well, it is not altogether a disagreeable look in the end.

That's as far as I could zoom in with the poor little smudged thing.

I would like to thank the person(s) who +1'ed my previous posts. You made my day! Thank you.
