Rather than using pictures of just clouds for this week’s Fun Foto Challenge, which can be quite spectacular if taken at the right moment, (unfortunately I don’t have too many of those) I thought I would share some images where the clouds seem to be actively participating in the overall picture.
The clouds almost appear to be part of the blossoms on this tree which are in turn reflected in a pond at the Morton Arboretum.
Here the clouds seem to be racing with the yachts at Lake Opeka in Des Plaines.
Clouds appear reflected in what is affectionately known as ‘The Bean’ in Millennium Park in Chicago, although the official name of this sculpture, co-incidentally, is really Cloud Gate.

I so adore your first photo. Thanks for playing along this week. I really like all your photos.
Thanks, Cee! You have certainly provided plenty of inspiration with the wonderful images on your blog.
You are too kind. 🙂
Three beautiful photos but the reflections in the first and third shots are amazing. Wow – hat’s off to the photographer for making such great catches. 🙂
Thanks, Judy! I really appreciate you stopping by and commenting.
Such great shots. Reflective photographs and sailing are two of my favorite things! And it is always nice to see photos from the home state!
Thanks, Lisa! I’m looking forward to reading about your trip to Fiji.

Congratulations! I have chosen this post to be featured on Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge.
I hope your week is off to a terrific start.
Thanks so much, Cee! Looking forward to going out there and getting some car shots!
That tree in the first is quite spectacular and great reflection. It could almost be called a cloud tree. Cloud Gate is also fantastic. It brings the sky down to where it might not reach because of the buildings.
Thanks, Irene. I really appreciate your comments. Your take on the Cloud Gate picture was really interesting. I’d never thought of it in that way before.
