la nube, die Wolke, las mujeres, die Frauen, the women

today is the international women's day
and to celebrate i chose these pictures
of a female entity, a cloud



well, in Spanish and German, a cloud
is a female entity
La nube, die Wolke
i guess in English is neutral
but it is not only about articles and genders
but about clouds female nature
clouds just like women
are round, soft, fluffy, cheerful
and they make you smile, most of the time

and just like women too
they can be menacing, and dark
and when they are angry or sad
they discharge tears, and loud thunders

i suffer a lot of womanly maladies
hormonal migraines, strong PMS
moodiness, and sensitivity
and my life has gone totally gray
over a homeless cat
yet, i am thankful to life
for having created me a woman
i love to be cheerful and sensitive
and also to be sad and cry plenty at times

celebrate, not only today, but always
the women in your life!
too celebrate those lovely fluffy clouds

I try to celebrate them as much as possible and whenever they allow some room to do it... beautiful and joyful, passionate and playful... demanding and flickery... but overall lovable, yes why not!?
If I could I'd give you your hug, but as it is kind of difficulten vivo y directo, I'm sending it via Radio Gnome Invisible directly to sunny SD.

Hola Bere,
Beautiful captures (as usual)! You really do magic with that camera, I think. Somehow these two fluffy clouds look very feminine to me.... Don't ask me what a masculine cloud would look like, though. ;oP

Anyhow! It's great to drop in and see these. We didn't have any cloud today, it seems. A bona fide heatwave of cloudless proportion!

Greetings from DST-lagging North Park,
Smorgy :oD

Never heard that analogy before! Loved it, and now every time I look up at those azure skies and see those slinky/fluffy/pompous/broken/clouds I will wonder....
Empowering women makes for a better world!

Dear Berenice,

There is one analogy about women and clouds you don't mention: they are everywhere the same. A Sandiegan cloud could be confused with one sailing above Cantal/Central France.

Now I ask you: is this so or not? I mean, it might be so regarding clouds but females???
