Sylphs at play

August 7, 2023, there was a wave of really heavy thunderstorms. They helped cool the evening temperatures down quite nicely. We sat out on our back porch and enjoyed the cooler evening.  We watched butterflies and birds feeding on our storm damaged garden. The damaged garden isn’t a loss for us. We stopped gardening a couple weeks ago when a Mama doe and her fawn ran through the yard. After our harvest, we give the last part of the gardening season to the deer and other critters. Especially the Mama does for the extra nourishment to feed their fawns.
We didn’t see any deer, but the clouds were putting on a show. We enjoy cloud watching (and happily enjoy our pareidolia.)
I told my husband “Look the sylphs are at play.” I pointed to the sky, “That one favors a pac-man about to eat a bird.” 🤣
My husband smiled and agreed. 😊

Wishing you all a whimsical rest of the week.

*Just a note: A sylph is an elemental spirit of the air as described by Paracelsus in the 16th century.


Whimsical Nature Wednesday – Sundog

 

One of my favorite atmospheric phenomenon is a Sundog.
A sundog is a magnificent bright spot in the clouds beside the sun.
Here’s a few photos of one that was in our skies October 1, 2017.P1230739

CherryWillow is doing a ‘No-Filter Friday’. She posts a photo on Fridays that she took that have only ‘sizing and adding a copyright’ being the only editing/filtering done to them.
I probably won’t join in every Friday. I get busy and sidetracked, but today, I’m joining in on the fun.
I hope you’ll join in some Friday too.
