Such stunning skies this time of year when the seasons overlap… these ripples of undulating cloud said to portent that – change is on the way. Known to many as ‘mackerel skies’ for their pattern like mackerel skin, in Italy they’re called pecorelle, little sheep, or cielo a pecorelle, ‘sheep sky’. (In The Proxy Bride, when they’re looking at the clouds, Nonna Gia says that Italian saying, Nuvole a pecorelle, pioggia a catinelle.)
Who knows if these clouds will bring such change but whether they look like fish or sheep, it’s wonderful how nature mimics itself and it all feels connected. As for the birds… I was so focussed on the clouds when taking this photograph, I didn’t see these two flying in to land on my neighbour’s roof! So lovely when a little bit of unexpected magic happens. ✨ Buona giornata! 💙☁️🐦
