Navel Gazing or Cloud Watching?

Someone asked me recently to describe the clouds in Bhutan, and ever since then I have been bugged with looking at the clouds, and trying to find the right words to describe them.

Are they whispy? Are they marshmallowy? Are they misty? Are they transparent? Are they grey? How white is white? Are they fast moving?

One this is for sure there are many clouds and they are ever changing.

Today it was quite overcast and there were big heavy rain clouds, but in the distance between the mountains there were whispy clouds that are fast moving. It's a challenge to describe and I realise i have such few adjectives to describe them!

Although a benefit of all this cloud watching is often glances at the mountains and the sky, and a few moments to gather my thoughts, gaze and consider how best to describe them. Quite a nice alternative to the laptop and the paperwork (or the road when running!).

So again I have a chance to appreciate what is around me. Thanks for the challenge.

Tashi Delek.
