FLORIDA — Phone cameras make it so easy to capture great moments any day, any time. Have you taken some photos of flowers in bloom, children frolicking at the beach, breathtaking sunsets, dramatic skylines or a funny photo of the family dogs plunging into the backyard swimming pool? The Florida Patch sites publish a collection of Photos of the Week each weekend sent in by readers.Whether you snapped an amazing shot with your smartphone or spent hours capturing the decisive moment on a Nikon D6, send your photos to Tampa Bay Patch editor D'Ann White at [email protected] with the location of the photo and the name of the photographer. You might see your photo featured on Patch. This has become one of our favorite features. We enjoy looking at the amazing photos we receive as much as readers enjoyed taking them. The response has been overwhelming, and it's been fun — and challenging — to choose a collection of photos each week with a specific theme. This week's theme is clouds. They can be vibrant as the sun sets and rises, ominous with an approaching storm or fun and fluffy, taking the shape of animals, faces and other interesting configurations. Left, Rebecca Saranich of Bradenton took this photo of a storm forming over Anna Maria Island. Right, Suzanne Haines took this photo of a picture-perfect day at Madeira Beach. Vera Bifulco took this photo looking over the bay in Clearwater. Here's another view of Clearwater by Jane Stanley. Ben Johnson took this photo at Robert Rees Park.
