Well, I just want to say how happy I am to be here with you today. I represent my fellow cloud dwellers, who for the most part are a bit shy or just don't want to have much to do with publicity. My friend the Cloud Whisperer is the photographer that got this whole thing started by taking pictures of all of us Cloud Dwellers. Our friend Gail M2 Poole is a human and she's the one who traces us in the pictures for those humans who aren't quite as aware of us as she. (I had to make her go over mine several times until she got my nose just right.) Stormy Water takes the pictures of the Naturelings and then she's so ADD, she just kept going and created all those other categories of pictures. By the way, she calls herself the Queen of the Naturelings, but that's just because I got to be the Queen of the Cloud Dwellers.

Anyway, like I said, my Cloud Dwellers have a problem and I feel, as their queen, it's my responsibility to find a way to solve it. Sometimes, I think about those pictures in the Harry Potter books and films, how they keep moving about even when they're on the page. Cloud Dwellers are sort of like that except that we don't move around in our pictures; good gracious we get enough of that, drifting about all day long, morphing in and out of every hill and dale. What we don't get to do, and we never have been able to do, is TALK! And we have so much to say. Just consider our vantage points. Oh, good lord, the things we've seen, the stuff we know, the gossip we've heard....but mostly, since we've been around so very long - constantly changing but always the same essence, you understand - the lives we've been able to follow. There are legendary people out there. We'd love to tell you all about them. But it's like our human Gail said to me one day, "I've given you a face, it's up to them to give you a voice." So that is what I'm asking for all of us...a chance to tell your stories...and maybe a few of our own.

So if you all could find the time to visit us here at WhereLegendsBegin.com, go ahead and sign in; it's on the left hand side of the page. We'd be delighted if you'd click on any one of us and say something for us. It would be such a relief after all these years to finally get to speak.

And, of course, The Cloud Whisperer is not the only one who can take pictures of Cloud Dwellers. I'll bet there of some of you other humans, like our Gail, who can spot us...even though we are pretty good at staying out of sight - if I say so myself. If y'all get a picture of one of our friends, upload it and put it up here with us. You might want to read the 'How to" link at the top of our home page. It's full of good advice. Oh, my stars and clouds, it's getting late.

Well, I guess you've heard, the Cloud Whisperer is now Professor Cloud Whisperer. Of course, he would never brag about that but my how he manages to work his new title into the conversation. "As a professor, I must..." or "Got to morph, we professors are never through...". And he's not doing anything that he didn't already do. Oh, I'm gracious and I smile and I symphathize but as soon as he's gone, I just have to snicker to myself. For a 'humble' Cloud Dweller, he's mighty proud. It's hard but I try to make myself say, "Good morning, Professor Cloud Dweller." "How are you doing, Professor Cloud Dweller?" You know it just tickles him pink.

More to come.
