I had hoped to share the clouds I saw on my journey home from work last night.
Well tonight's sky was just a touch better... a cloud in the right place at the right time.
I had just crossed the M6 motorway on the lovely country lane I use every day.
This tree had featured on my blog before.... swaying in the wind last autumn.
It will have stood here ever since the days of black and white photos.
These images were taken with my little five year old Casio point and shoot.

Wow, you must be living right to arrange that. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Breathtaking clouds! Your various views and that stalwart tree are amazing and very, very nicely done.
Love that first one Andrew.

Wow, super shots these! I love the way you've framed the tree with the clouds and also how the black and white image accentuates the light/dark contrasts of tones.
Wow! It was nice Mother Nature set the scene again. Wonderful captures of a gorgeous tree.. and sky!
THAT is fabulous! this one should be framed and hung up on a wall!
Andrew

Tks

Great photo Andrew. Someday you'll have the share with me how you get the clouds to do that - backdrop your subject so perfectly.
Love the tree in front of the clouds and the overall composition. Also like the black and white version.
Fantastic compositions Andrew; the B&W version is also very striking. What a marvellous addition to your day. Thanks for sharing.
Right place, right time and well spotted Andrew. A cracking set of images...[;o)
Gorgeous Andrew!
I just want to sit and stare at these.
You are very good with a point and shoot camera. :)
A delightful visit here today.

That is impressive!
SWF
Who says you can't be a National Geographic photographer with a point-n-shoot???
Is there a photo competition you can enter those in for. I do hope there is enough resolution so you can blow then up to a good size.
What a coup!
Deslumbrante... excelente motivo para uma pintura à óleo.
Bom fim de semana, amigo!
Beijinhos.

That first photo is spectacular Drew; the lighting 'just right' with that beautiful tree set against the low cloud. Wow you got lucky! You were like a boy scout and remembered the "Be prepared" motto.
That was SPECTACULAR! So beautiful. sandie
Wonderful images, Andrew. That tree is magnificent!
STUNNING!
Very lovely - striking tree, let alone the backdrop. Thanks for sharing.
love the 2nd shot best. just beautiful. me love clouds. (:
Perfect..absolutely perfect!
But if it were me...
I would be sitting under that tree
on a blanket, with a glass of wine in one hand, watching the clouds roll by.
Wondering what it would be like to be a bird soaring high into the clouds, weaving in and out of them as they float across the sky.
Yep, I'm a dreamer!
The best part is the way you composed this shot, with the lone tree against the cloud. Great job!!
A great shot, love the shape of that tree, and of course the cloud behind it. I think I would have stopped to get a shot too.
I am GREEN with cloud-photo envy at this one. Perfection, in all its forms. Good spotting and great shots.
Gorgeous ! The clouds making a peak right at the top of that tree - Amazing scene !
Wonderful composition and shots!
Wow! What a cool shot in black and white!
You could start a that tree series like Steffe in Haninge!
Truly fantastic photos, Andrew! These are publication worthy. There's so much feeling in them. Wonderful elements and composition! You've outdone yourself.
FANTASTIC pictures Andrew..... good work
