Cee’s B&W Photo Challenge: Clouds
Cee’s B&W Photo Challenge this week is ‘Clouds’.
Here are clouds hovering over the city of La Paz, the capital of of Bolivia. At an elevation of roughly 3,650 m (11,975 ft) above sea level, La Paz is the highest capital city in the world. We’d just flown into El Alto airport which is even higher, at an altitude of 13,323′ and I was definitely feeling the effects.
Clouds over lake Titicaca as we took the hydrofoil across the lake to Copacabana.
The clouds around the lighthouse in my old hometown of Umhlanga South Africa, where at sea level my body is happiest.
Here in Florida it’s pretty flat too. No wonder the clouds fall into the water at our local nature reserve.

Is This The Same Guy?
This morning when I looked out of my window, I noticed one particular pelican sitting up in the trees and thought he looked rather familiar. I went in search of a painting I did a few years ago when I started taking art classes.
It was lurking in the back of my hall closet and sure enough, there he was. He looks younger and a bit unfinished, but unmistakable don’t you think?
Happy Wednesday to you all.
Silent Sunday: The Vigil
A Great Blue Heron standing guard over the remains of another one who had evidently met an untimely death. There were dozens of people on the boardwalk taking photos, but he seemed oblivious as he stood there absolutely motionless. I felt so sad for him, as he was obviously grieving and didn’t want to leave his mate. I wonder how long his vigil lasted.

What’s The Well-dressed Anhinga Wearing This Season?
Here we have Ms Annie anhinga modelling her stunning winter outfit. It presents an elegant and smooth profile with the cape completely closed.
For a more dramatic effect, the cape can be opened right up to show the magnificent placing of the feathers. This outfit can not only be worn in Florida’s sunny weather, but also if there’s a sudden downpour it’s totally water-resistant. In fact it’s so versatile that one can even swim in it.
Wishing you all a very pleasant Tuesday.
One Liner Wednesday: Rosie Fits The Bill
Pretty in pink and with her distinctive spatula-shaped bill, Rosie is on the hunt for delectables in the shallow waters along the edge of the lake.
