I took this last week on a perfect, clear-as-a-bell late spring day. The leaves had morphed from their baby soft chartreuse into their true state: green, shiny, challenging the wind.The sky was perfectly blue with a wisp of a cloud here and there. But this cloud drew my eyes away from all the splendor because it reminded me of a funnel cloud.
On Monday a very strong tornado ravaged an area just a few miles north of us in the farmland of Hugo and Blaine. It left eerie, and in some cases, total devastation in its rickrack path.
These colors combined reminded me of a beautiful flag of sorts--green and white on a blue background.

I love the way the cloud connects the tree and sky - lovely!

Your cloud really is strange. The video you linked to is frightening. Thank heaven you were spared.
Great sky watch, great picture.
Fab pic. It looks like the spirit of the tree is leaping upward into the sky.
I like your sw photo and lovely description, Nonizamboni.
Wonderful shot. Very nice colors too:)
Beautifully framed and captured..
The word verification for this comment is CISAW, which I interpret as "See, I saw" which could be Mary Anne's slogan. You do seem to see with perceptive and artistic eyes in this photo and always.
BTW I'm collecting strange word verification letter combinations. I intend to write a humorous article someday - that illusive someday.
Awesome shot!
This is such a pretty shot!
Like the green frame of leaves for you sky. How lucky you were to get this cloud appearing.
Good colours. I liked this a lot.
wonderful sky, very beautiful colors
