Clouds

Of all the simple pleasures, few can match the faithful and overwhelmingly majestic beauty of the cloud.

Sublime – adjective
1.
elevated or lofty in thought, language, etc.
2.
impressing the mind with a sense of grandeur or power; inspiring awe, veneration, etc.: ex. sublime skies over Wisconsin field.

Winter Sky over Wisconsin.


Deadly storm boils up over North Texas.


This one washed over us in giant undulating swells. The view from the ocean floor.


Art show above the Mountains.

Cropduster against a perfectly cloudy summer sky.

Ditto to Brad's second sentence. But, I'm amazed that you found a dict. w/ that def. of sublime; spec., the ex. for def. no. 2. It must be one that Jen retained from childhood.

The mind races to identify what cloud shape will come next. The heart is at a tempered pace to catch the next color unvailed. Beautiful
