How about, to start with, you have a go and see if you can remember the first 4 lines of this famous poem? It starts with:
" I wandered lonely as a cloud .... "
*******************************************************
Ken - amazingly, we had a cloudless sky for our vets' match at the start of January!
*******************************************************
At various times during January (and without actually looking for anything), I came across 3 different clips on the BBC to do with specific cloud formations:
there was this very strange cloud formation in Turkey:
...... and then nearer to home, there was this recent cloud inversion in Derbyshire:
......and even further north, there was this clip of a mother-of-pearl formation:
Anyway, enough of my digressions for now, here are the photos you sent in - enjoy!
Sue - "monitoring clouds"
Stacey - on a short winter break in Venice
Don - flying through the clouds (and beautiful sunset) whilst landing at Houston!
Don - The Cloudveil Hotel at Jackson Hole, Wyoming
(where we stayed over the New Year)
Here are three from Steve - "weather closing in on a walk round Chichester harbour"
Keith - clouds/sunset over our back garden
Rosie - I really liked this but unless the collective name for a group of
snowmen is a "cloud" it may not make it through the vetting process!
**********************************
Here is another non-photographic bit for you all!
It is a lovely paragraph (linked to clouds!) that was in a book called
"What I talk about when I talk about running" by Haruki Murakami:
"The thoughts that occur to me while I'm running are like the clouds in the sky. Clouds of all different sizes. They come and they go, while the sky remains the same sky as always. The clouds are mere guests in the sky that pass away and vanish, leaving behind the sky. The sky both exists and doesn't exist. It has substance and at the same time doesn't. And we merely accept that vast expanse and drink it in"

....... and our topic for next month, to think about as you "wander the world" is:
"Glass"
