I love “sky sea” ! Since I still love to find images in clouds I really loved how you turned the cloud into a ship and made rain its anchor. Love the photo of the ship cloud hovering over the glass-like water.
Thanks, Janet–I took that picture in Hallstatt last summer. It was one of our favorite sights of our entire trip–those clouds over the lake, below the mountain. So. Magical.
Oh, that is so lovely. Austria? Yes, to see it in person must have been wonderful. True eye candy! But kind of the Willy Wonka kind perhaps!
Yep, Austria. It was glorious!

Thanks, Jessica! I was on the fence about using anchor of rain, but I’m glad I did.

“My anchor is rain”–wonderful, Laura!
Thanks! Funny the lines we’re most uncertain about always seem to be the ones that connect the most…
