Thursday Thirteen: 9/7

First, lets talk about Mr. Linky. GREAT tool if you do a meme and you want to link back to other participants. However, it is HIGHLY rude to stop by, link yourself and not say anything. If you don’t want to comment, that’s your biz! However, it’s just rude to stop in, link yourself, and not even say hi.
Now on with the list…
I took this image while flying home from LA. It is now my desktop wallpaper. I offer you today thirteen things I see in this photograph…
1. The beauty of the sky…the brightest of blue enhanced by the crisp white of fluffy clouds.
2. Softness of clouds. They are so much fun!
3. Power. The tremendous power of a building thunderstorm.
4. Relaxation. Combine the above three things and for me relaxation is natural. It is a beautiful setting. One could become lost in the random highs and lows of the clouds expanding. What seems so soft holds so much more. A good thunderstorm, not severe, I find relaxing as I drift to sleep.
5. Imagination. You know I can’t get out of this list without playing the cloud game.
6. Top left. Is that the man in the moon blowing a party favor?
7. Or, is it a witch sticking out her forked tongue?
8. Center. Hungry hungry hippo?
9. Or, the flying dog from Neverending Story?
10. Bottom center. The dark shadows make it look like an angry Ord from Dragontales.
11. To Ord’s left, I think I see what he is angry at. It reminds me of the back of Tiki’s head as she is annoying the big dogs…floppy ears and all.
12. Right side. If you stare at it long enough it looks like a big dog with poofy fur wearing sunshades. You really have to stare though.
13. I won’t say a giant marshmallow…although, on my desktop, it does somewhat look like a toasted one that was too close to the flame. Top right, center of the cloud brush strokes…is that a cloaking spaceship? Or a terradactyl eye with wings only slightly visible?
You see anything?

The very first time I flew I was scared, but got a window seat anyway. It is absolutely gorgeous! Great 13. -Margie
Flying dog from NES for sure! At the right it looks like a fountain spurting up.
What a GREAT T13!!! I love the picture, and I’m sending my cousin over because she LOVES to see things in pictures
Mine’s up!
This may be psychologically revealing, but in the top left I see Garfield wearing a Madonna-like bullet bra. I need to have my eyes checked!
very relaxing………nice!!
Mine’s up
oh my. Shrone, I think you’re right!
What an incredible idea for a TT! Beautiful…
How weird! I could see every item you mentioned. I saw a few faces mixed in there, too.
Wow, that’s a gorgeous picture! Personally, I see Pinocchio facing away from us over on the right.
My TT is up, too:

Lovely shot. Sometimes I don’t mind those drive by linky’s if they are my regulars and I know they are just having one of those busy days. I have a few of those myself, pretty dang often. =-) Hope you have a great Thursday.

I like the way that you did this one. Really creative and it made me laugh, too.
Cool picture! I adore looking at clouds. You’re right, it is very relaxing!
I can totally see Ord! It amazing how many different things can be seen in clouds!
As for Mr. Linky, I’ve been trying to use it but it’s been messing up my template. Is there something special I’m suppose to do when using it with WP?
Great list and beautiful pic. I just got back from Arizona and I took about 30 pictures out the plane window…it’s nice to know I’m not the only one! I see a hippo right in the front, center.
My TT is up!
You are brilliant, what a cool idea for this activity, original! I started to see so many things in those delicate detailed clouds…a real inspiration..
Cheers,
Candy ( my week #5 T.T. is up…)
I love the picture. And, I love clouds! I see a hand at the bottom.
My TT is up.
Very nice picture, and thoughts to go along with it.
I love this TT!
I moved back to a flat recently because I missed seeing the sky in my groundfloor house.
I also see the most wonderful things in the clouds, nice to see people who have as much imagination! Beautiful picture!
Neat picture – I see lots of things in that picture. Imagination is a great tool – unfortunately most of us lose the ability to use it the older we get. I see a big beautiful face right centre. Oh yes I see the witch too!!
I’m breathless! Such beautiful photo. I agree with you 100% with the beauty of the sky.
My TT13 is up too.
That is just so beautiful!!!
Happy Thursday!
This is an awesome TT! I can see the dog with sunglasses! I had to look for quite a while though.
beautiful pic! I always like trying to see shapes in the clouds.
What a great picture!! I love staring out the window when I’m on a plane. And I could see most of the things you mentioned, too.
Thanks for popping by Snarkypants. Have a great Thursday!
Awesome TT!!!
I think I see a fish, maybe a blowfish, like the one in Finding nemo, but he has an Elvis hair-do. Over in the top left corner.
Beautiful. So much fun to use our imaginations.
I’m definitely seeing the things that you have mentioned. The main thing that stands out to me is the troll looking guy(with the spike hair) and glasses laying on the cloud with his foot poking out. Could just get lost in that cloud. Lol how fun!
The clouds are beautiful. I love how soft they look, like you could scoop up a handful.
That is an awesome T13! Love the picture!
wow! that is beautiful! stunning beauty!
Absolutely original. Awesome!
Though I can see the troll Ocean Lady saw on the right, I saw it as Don King. But then, I’m a guy, so what do I know?
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this picture.
I would steal, I mean borrow, it but that would be rude.
I have been taking tons of pics of the sky lately.
Thanks for sharing this amazing sky art.
I see the beauty of God’s creation!
Don’t they make you just want to jump in them?
I love the picture and your interprtation of it. I love cloud formations and trying to see what i see it them
i love watching the sky under our apricot tree when we go to our summer house
It’s definitely Falcor.
(aka #9).
Me? Kid movie geek? Um… no. how would you get that idea?
That is a neat idea for a TT! We always look for things in the clouds when we are out.
I see a giant monster rubbing a nickel. Yeah, I know I’m weird. Great list!
Beautiful picture! It reminds me of flying above the clouds. I love to fly, maybe someday I will take flying lessons!
I’m up at TT – 13 things France this Thursday
Very cool. I love discovering images in clouds!
