"C"for "Cloud" ABC -Wednesday round 2



Arnold lobel wrote a tale in which a young mouse sees funny or stranges chapes in a cloudy sky...
(Could you tell me if you see somethig else than white clouds in this photo ??)

Baudelaire, a famous poet, praises the beauty of clouds which make him dream and bring to him some freedom:"J'aime les nuages, les merveilleux nuages..."

Cumulus, cirrus, cumulo nimbus have so fantastic shapes !
Don't you imagine in this blue sky a marble God's bust?

Examine this picture:
Fantasy?No reality, of course!A
God seen by a lunatic or a poet? No, a mere statue created by one of the sculptors of Cerisy-la -Forêt!
However, its colour and material look like clouds!

In the square of Trouville (Calvados, France) the statue of Gustave Flaubert illustrates this idiomatic expression:
"to have one's head in the clouds"

  14. Pretty clouds. Interesting statues.

    As for the caboose, it used to be the last car on the train and was usually red. When you saw the caboose, it meant it was the end of the train. Children always loved to wait for the red caboose. Today they do not use the caboose anymore.

    To answer your question, I am a local artist in the Detroit area. I used to be much more well-known when I lived in Upstate NY where I had a number of shows. I have yet to have one here in Detroit.

    Nice blog.
