Who we are

This site is a joint effort by


The company behind WhereLegendsBegin. com and CloudDwellers.BlogSpot.com is JaRySa LLC (named for our three children Jacob, Ryan, and Sarah). I am Professor Cloud Whisperer, Misty McMorph, and Stormy Water's human, Gail M2 Poole. I type for them and thereby give them a voice. I also do the talking for JaRySa LLC (family and friends make up the company). This site was initially all about clouds until Professor Cloud Whisperer and Stormy Water got interested in other things, too.

 

Who we are looking for

We are looking for you. Most likely you are like us.

You are an accidental photographer. You like to take pictures but you don't necessarily know how to get the best shot. You take a million photos - most are pretty good, but every now and then, one is absolutely stunning. Nearly everyone has that awesome photo lying in a box or stuck in an album. When people see it, they sigh and say things like Gorgeous, Cool, or even Gnarly, Dude. If you'd like to submit a picture to us, you need to send it to us in digital form, so if the photo was taken before the day of the digital camera, scan it in on the highest resolution possible and then simply read and agree to our terms and email it to us at JaRySaLLC@gmail.com. You may be seeing it soon on our site.

You are someone who writes for personal pleasure.

 

What we are looking for

This site is a celebration of the good all around us and within us. All pictures and text must be family friendly. We are looking for Cloud Dwellers, Hidden Matter, and Naturelings. We want the Alphabet done in clouds or found in nature. We love nature pictures that are universal and touch us all; we appreciate nature pictures that are one-of-a-kind, and we are fascinated by nature pictures with a twist. For example, see 'Southern Snow'.

Note:

  1. We accept no pictures with humans in them.
  2. We accept no pictures that violate our family friendly policy.
  3. Submit picture files between 1.5 and 10 mb.
  4. We accept no pictures that have been 'doctored' except to crop away unwanted portions and perhaps adjusting light and contrast. We expect the photographer to add text explaining the alteration of anything beyond the aforementioned - such as the adjustment of color.

 

How to view Cloud Dwellers, Hidden Matter, and Naturelings

If you would like to find the Cloud Dwellers, Hidden Matter, and Naturelings on your own, click the link beside each category ending with - Find Them. Take your time and search for them.

If you would like to see Cloud Dwellers, Hidden Matter, and Naturelings without having to think or search, click the link beside each category ending with - See Them. There, you will see the same picture that is in the - Find It section but this time you will see beside it the same picture again with a tracing of the Cloud Dweller, Hidden Matter, or Natureling. No need to search or think; it's clear as a bell.

You can always go to the Cloud Dwellers, Hidden Matter, and Naturelings - See Them and watch the slide show. It will present each picture original with the tracing immediately following.

If you happen to see a picture of a Cloud Dweller, Hidden Matter, or Natureling as you are browsing and you'd like to see a tracing, all you need to type into the search is the name of that picture followed by a space and the letters TR. This will pull up a tracing of the picture you are looking at. For example, you are looking at Angel on Break, type in Angel on Break TR ...and see what you get!

How to submit Cloud Dwellers

    1. First read and understand "How to email photos" above.
    2. It's very important when you email a Cloud Dweller to JaRySaLLC@gmail.com that you email it and then also email the tracing of that picture.
    3. We have the pictures on the site arranged in alphabetical order so that if you give them IDENTICAL NAMES with the name of the tracing of the original ending in "space TR", they will appear side by side with the original coming first.
    4. Example: Goat Guru (the original) and then Goat Guru TR (the tracing) You may want to enter the "Description" of the tracing much like I do which is usually simply "This is a tracing of (Name of original picture) by (Your User ID)".
    5. I and others will look at your pictures and decide whether they will be placed on the site.

Do the Hidden Matter and Naturelings photos work the same as the Cloud Dwellers photos?

Yes, I see you have caught on. Are you available for hire?
