Rainy day in Erda

A fun time for a lover of found beauty that I am - ladybugs mating, flycatcher's returning to the fields, young Red-tailed hawk and cloud formation questions!

Here we go..

Do you need an explanation for this?

Almost cross-eyed and incredibly intense!

Sitting still and then suddenly leaping into the air to catch a bug!  Beautiful.

Of the next three here are the questions:
1. Of the first two which do you like better - black and white or color?
2. Do the photos with the houses in them add to or detract from the cloud - or should the cloud be all by itself as it is in the last one?
Thanks
