It is always beautiful here, but I usually listen to the birds or watch a squirrel run across the branches. I watched a squirrel eat a guava fruit high in the tree yesterday morning.

However, the sky appeared in opposition last night, and my attention was pulled above.

Photo by author. Dark and mysterious.

In one direction, the artist wanted a big fluffy cloud surrounded by color, and in the other, it looked as if Dracula was about to rise from his tomb.

I live in a cloud forest, especially during the rainy season. The clouds move so fast over the mountains.

Minutes after taking the first photo. Photo by author.

One minute, it was a whiteout, and the next, it could have rolled on by leaving a beautiful mist over the trees, reinvigorating the lands, a painter's final touch of green on the tops of the trees.
