Mr. Swiss called to say to see the evening sky this evening. As I am a member of the Cloud Appreciation Society, I decided it would be worth a few shots. What happened next surprised me. A flock of crows took flight as I was shooting a photo. What could be better: a wonderful evening sky with bird accompaniment.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain!

Retired and Enjoying Every Minute of It
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

We had a cool rainbow here this morning, without rain. There was probably some drizzle over there on the west side as the sun was coming through on the east.

Rainbows make wonderful photos, we have them now and again. i was surprised that there are also moonbows from my daily cloud picture in the cloud appreciation society. With the normal eye they are white, but with the right camera lens you capture the colour spectrum. You have to have a bright moon for the effect

You were surprised? I thought everyone knew about those. They are more common than rainbows, and can tell a bit about the incoming weather. Because of the proximity to San Jose, there is not much to see in the sky at night here.

I had never heard of them, but I do not very often see the night sky.

Great capture. For a short moment, I thought there was something on my screen and then I realised those are your crows in the picture! 😀

I liked reading about the cloud appreciation society! I love looking at clouds. I used to imagine living among them as in a city.

There are almost always clouds hovering around waiting to be photographed, but since belonging to the society we are getting only grey skies. I get a cloud a day in my mail box from all over the world, and some are really very interesting.
