We were returning a call yesterday morning when we were astonished to discover we had lost our voice. We croaked out a hello and struggled through the conversation, relying on the amplifying capabilities of the transmission device to cover for us.

Evening Clouds. Nikon D200 with 18-200mm Nikkor at 130mm (195mm equivalent), f8, 1/1250 and ISO 200. Processed in Adobe Camera Raw.

We have no idea what happened to our voice. We were fine early in the morning, took a shower and suddenly couldn't talk.

Not that anyone complained.

Of course we realized not being able to speak would not prevent us from typing. Or, for that matter, from taking a photograph. In that sense, we were unscathed.

We could still express ourselves.

Had we been an opera singer or a salesman or a retail clerk, we might have had to call in sick.

As it was, when we saw this marvelous cloud formation over the Pacific late yesterday afternoon toward evening, we grabbed a camera and lined up the shot.

It didn't make it to sunset.

By then it had dissipated and the sky turned purple uniformly with no great reds from the departing sun. It turned out not to be a spectacular sunset.

But no loss. We couldn't have let out a whoop if it had.
