Mackeral Sky

This is what my dad used to call a mackeral sky, because the sailors thought these altocumulus clouds looked like fish scales on the adult king mackeral. My dad grew up on an island off the coast of Maine and everyone watched the skies for weather information. I get a thrill seeing beautiful clouds; we only get them in winter or fall.
