Photo Memory of the Week
Cloud of the Week
Ladies and gentlemen, meet this week and last week's cloud(s). I stumbled across it while walking to a clematis-site sighting from the previous day. By the time I got somewhere without any intervening tree branches, the cloud and the colours had moved on. Forget carpe diem: this is more like arripe occasionem.
