For those who love the piney woods and nature i1 general, clouds are among the most beautiful things in creation. They have the habit of appearing in variety of. form and sometimes in masses more aweâ€" inspiring and more drgmate than tall mountain top etched against their gates. Seldom are clouds static, either in shape, form orâ€"color. On bright days they are likely to be {white and fleecy, sliding calmly, like galleons of old, Across the ‘sky before the gentle onset of the breeze. At â€"other times they are compact and ‘baréely translucent â€" again at times they are as light and lacey as fairy. wings. Sailing high on the wind, they seem black at night, riding the crest of the storms, they rise like old and majestic castles built high: on crags. j ‘On cloudyâ€"dafs, in May the fir too, is a mist : ' uday days, in : e air too, is a misty white, grey and blue, bathing nature in a soft and gertle light, All lovelyâ€"things seen are near, s distance‘ becomes obliterated. Hard outlines of hill and tall pines lose their stern touch and earth and sky~seem to gain intimacy. im z. 2z > ue i y . o n + 1285 moontrutafiogt i o s e ..{" oo CC 0 Oe h t Om . WR WAAR © .
