Funny how our little sayings go. As one who works in a second language, I can be acutely aware sometimes of the differences which crop up from time-to-time.
Take 'clouds on the horizon' for example. Indeed, even take 'take [a thing]' kind of idiom...oh wait, it is getting complex here. Anyway, 'clouds on the horizon' usually offers a foreboding...something interrupting a blue sky.
But not always.
This afternoon, as I emerged from a day at the computer writing grants and marking essays, I spotted some of my favourite types of clouds. Look at them, on the horizon, from my backyard. Just beautiful...

| Take a seat (I wish) |

| Or try this one Goldilocks |

| Shaping up : cloud as Opera House |
And just a little while later as the sun began to set...
 |
| Looking like a firestorm... |
 |
| ....but it is just a touch of sun |
 |
| The moon |
And an unusual conjunction of Jupiter and Venus this evening. Longish exposure, capturing some movement among the celestial bodies.
 |
| Just for the moment (Note to self: reasons to buy a bigger lens, no. 75 in a series) |
A good day to be looking to the skies.
