Arrow Guess my CLOUD shot! Do you see what I see?



Ok - if the title isn't clear enough, hopefully this explains it. This game is for us cloud spotters out there who see shapes in the clouds and wonder if others can see them too or if we are just plain loony.

Here are the rules (we'll try and keep it simple -similar to the structure of guess my macro shot game), unless of course somebody has suggestions for how to do it better )

1. One person at a time posts a shot of their clouds. DO NOT say what it is you see yet. Everyone will throw in their ideas of what it is they see, and hopefully somebody will see the same thing as you - that way you aren't a loony.

2. If someone guesses it right, they post theirs next. If nobody does after 24 hours then the poster of the image will reveal the answer - preferably with an outline or circle for illustration purposes. In some way try to make what it is you see stand out (see example below).

3. If the person who guessed does not have an available shot they may choose to pass and the first person to post a cloud shot will start the next round of "cloud spotting."

**In the case where nobody guesses and the answer is revealed the pass rule applies and the first person to post starts the next round.**

Example:

Cloud Photo: Do you see what I see?

Kneeling Angel

Answer: I see an Angel

KneelingAngelReveal

Call me crazy but I see the head of a large animal (maybe a bear) coming from the right hand side and growling or roaring....something like that.

Good game idea shutternut! I'll play. I see a head on the left side and the sunbeams look like long straight hair.

In the gray clouds: I see the animal on the left but I also see two (2) old Black men, looking upward on the top, just off center to the right...

Wow, I saw a Koala Bear. I'm working on the drawing, I'll add it to this post once I'm done.

Great job shutternut, you get it although your bear (which I do see now that you said bear) is not the koala bear, you were in the right "family" of animal.

Glad to see this game might actually work out I don't have anything to post at the moment so someone else feel free to jump in!

For the record - I only saw the head of the bear - definitely didn't see the whole body like that
