The best clouds are the ones taken in the middle of the day; thick, fat ones, with lots of structure. The trick is just to gaze at the cloud, without expectation or focusing on a particular part of it. Some patterns may emerge as you enjoy. A couple of eyes there, a mouth there, a nose. Suddenly you could have a whole gallery of truly interesting "folks" looking at you :-) Interestingly enough, as you are an american, this kind of seeing started for me in Fairfield and has contiunued ever after.
