I am so glad that Hugh’s photo challenge is back! I am still working on my photography skills so it the perfect challenge for me to have a go at!
Today we have the theme of ‘stripes.’ I could not think of anything obvious, and was not impressed by Mr Grump’s ‘helpful’ suggestion of taking a photo of him in his stripey jumper which makes him look like a rather elderly, follically challenged ‘Dennis the Menace!’
However, whilst out walking with Roxy this morning I thought the clouds looked rather stripey.
What do you think?
Definitely stripey…and very beautiful as well.

Nice interpretation of ‘stripes’. Did you see Denis in the Haiku challenge talking about him having his own favourite type of cloud formation that he looks for everywhere he goes in the world – I like that idea so much – perhaps this stripyness is your special cloud? Or is there another you particularly like?

Actually I like the stripey clouds, particularly when they are colourful, in sunrises and sunsets. Absolutely beautiful. 🙂

I think it’s a good application of stripes. Sometimes we find patterns in unexpected places. 🙂

Yes, I agree, Judy, they do look stripey, although probably not as stripey as Mr Grump’s jumper. Maybe we’ll see that another day? 😉
Thanks for participating.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
