PHOTO COMPETITION

Whenever I go outside now, I seem to be drawn to looking at cloud formations. They feel otherworldly, spiritual, freeing and magical. They make me feel connected to the Universe and often make me smile, too (I love to spot objects and faces in them!).

Clouds make me feel happy and calm. When I'm struggling with my day, I only need to look up and see those giant puffs billowing towards the sun, or thin wisps slinking past the moon – because clouds, of course, come in countless shapes and sizes – and I feel a whole lot better about myself. This photo is one I took a few years ago in New Zealand when I visited my grandson. It was the most beautiful sight and, to cap it all off, included him, too! Jayne Jacobs
