Gorgeous cloudscape, Lyn, and you must have been lying on your tummy in the wildflowers to get such a grasshopper view of those big puffy cummulus. Wonderfully sharp image and I adore the perspective of this shot, as it gives a lovely sense of space and freedom and clean, fresh air. Excellent!!

just beautiful Lyn and into my favourites! I finished the song before I read your narrative - one of my old time favourite songs! Great title for a very pretty photograph and you took it from a great angle too which emphasises the beauty of the plants at the front. Patti

A wonderful shot, Lyn, and a perfect title! I can see so clearly through your eyes, the clouds scudding across the field...the beauty of the day in the way the wind bends the flowers and grasses. Well done.

We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.
Sublime simplicity ... think that about sums it up for me ... or maybe it should be Simply sublime. Either way ... Lovely image for a Desktop.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
Lovely Lyn. The color, sharpness and the angle you took it on is excellent all the way. I saw this in VB before I knew it was yours and give it high marks. Superb work.

It's so nice to see the sun is giving you some beautiful summer skies, and it's so nice to be able to view them. Do you get a lot of snow in your wintertime? I'll have to come and visit that part of the world someday and see these sights for myself..meantime..I'll just keep enjoying your creations...♪♫ ♪ :)PJ

I just go into a trance when i see skies like this Lyn, and you have captured this one perfectly, and finally i give it a wow factor of 1111. Peace and happiness, always, Dwight.

"a hot North West wind" sounds very strange in this part of the world, but you have captured the sense of movement in the grasses and clouds exceptionally well. Great composition--especially the low angle to emphasize the pretty wildflowers.

Further info about our Nor'Westers :) (from Wikipedia)
"The Nor'west arch is a weather pattern peculiar to the east coast of New Zealand's South Island. For this reason, it is also often referred to as the Canterbury arch. It is shown in an apparent arch of high white cloud in an otherwise clear blue sky over the Southern Alps, and is accompanied by a strong hot northwesterly wind simply known as The Nor'wester.
The northwesterly wind in the South Island is a föhn wind. Warm moist air from over the Tasman Sea is pushed up by the presence of the Southern Alps, causing it to cool rapidly. Much of the moisture is dumped on the West Coast, and is responsible for the temperate rain forests found there. As the air passes over the alps, the water vapour remaining becomes visible in a band of cloud over the mountains at the top of each wave of air. From the perspective of a viewer on the eastern side, this appears as an 'arch' of cloud. The standing wave or arch is caused by the moisture condensing and becoming visible towards the top of the wave and then evaporating again as the air descends to the trough of the wave.
The Nor'west arch can be seen as far north as Amberley and as far south as Central Otago, but it is at its most prominent on the Canterbury Plains, due to the flat and low-lying nature of the land to the east of the mountains.
The Nor'wester, when it hits, is not only responsible for Canterbury's intermittent droughts, but also has a deep psychological effect on people subjected to its hot, dry nature. It has been statistically linked to increases in suicide and domestic violence.
Research has indicated that the mechanism is a significant buildup of positive ions, strongest at the coast, and electric fields of this strength have been shown to upset the melatonin/seratonin balance in some people"

I have seen some cool clouds before but that one smaller one in the background with all the little layers to it is fantastic. This is a very lovely capture.

Terrific photograph LynEve, superb clouds and indeed if wind blows are the song of Bob Dylan very appropriate. I like this song and listen to all his older songs.

If you love something, set it free.
It it comes back to you, it is yours.
If it does not, it was never meant to be.

The perfect summer day! A wonderful compostion, beautiful sky, beautiful foreground flowers. Who cares that there's a little wind. Love Dylan.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Oh, Lyn, I can't believe we weren't friends when you posted this pic...at any rate, I just got it in the voting booth and of course I gave it a 10 ++++++++++++++++++ when I saw it. So I hope that helps to boost up the rating on this flawless picture...It's just plain gorgeous. Someday I hope you'll let me in on the secret of how you get such a tremendously defined DOF on all your landscapes...This is a perfect example of that. You are one talented lady, my friend
