From the dock on Prout's Island photographed the Cumulus cloud over Sesekinika Lake in the Township of Grenfell Sesekinika in Northeastern Ontario Canada
Cumulus Clouds
The word cumulus means “heap.” Clouds in the cumulus family have fluffy tops and a flat base. They can be stand-alone, grouped in clusters, or in line with other cumulus clouds. These clouds range from white to very dark grey in color.

Almost like flipping a switch, the typical almost featureless altostratus of winter have mostly disappeared and puffs of cumulus are appearing more and more often.
Another rainbow + dramatic sky from last week

I loved how the sky changed in a matter of minutes from dull grey to this orange with the rainbow slowly appearing at the bottom.
Cumulus Clouds
Fair weather cumulus clouds are the type of clouds we want to see when we’re planning to go on a picnic or go fishing…. and the kind we might get tired of if we’re in a drought!
Fair weather cumulus clouds are a really beautiful sight. They’re the types of clouds that I like to find shapes in.
Fair weather cumulus clouds are the kind of cloud that imaginative people can find all kinds of familiar shapes in.
Fair weather cumulus clouds also tell you that, at least for the moment, it’s safe to enjoy the outdoors without immediate fear of rain, lightning, or damaging winds.
I also like fair weather cumulus clouds because they can be very photogenic.
Now that's one massive Cumulus Cloud drifting over Lake Sesekinika in Grenfell Township in Northeastern Ontario Canada

I shot these cumulus clouds through the glass of my bedroom window yesterday as they gathered low on the horizon.
They reminded me of my childhood where I'd gaze at such cloud formations and imagine them as snow covered mountains in a distant land.
If you were a child growing up in the 60's, tv had a special significance and there were great shows full of magic and imagination.
One of my favourites was Mr Piper who's window opened in his high tower into a cloudscape such as this as he told his stories ....
I had to change over lenses so freaking fast to get this one, reminded me of training the Army, changing over a magazine on an SA80 or removing a jam thanks to the cold weather. However this cloud at the tip took on the pareidolia, in my opinion, of a Basilisk, so hence the name.
On another note: Today America is saying to each other Happy Thanksgiving, tomorrow they'll be beating the shit out of each other for a wide screen TV! Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to my American followers.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)
Calendar cliché or not, mere mortals cannot resist this scene for its sheer 'stand-&-stare' qualities. (Mere mortals evidently don't drive white vans on the A82.)
Even late on in the morning a remarkable quality of light shone through. The compelling properties of that 'clingy' cumulus contributes to the overall wonder, also: a blank, blue sky would have photographically killed this image off, I reckon.
This was taken at 36,000ft heading west over Austria during some extremely powerful storms. We diverted our course to the south (left) to stay clear of them as the tops of the thunderstorms went up beyond 40,000ft. In the foreground is a towering cumulus, the precursor to a cumulonimbus, one of which can be seen in the background with the flat top.

We did wonder whether these were the forerunner to a thunder storm, but we managed to walk the few miles back home in the lovely sunshine. Seems the storm that did eventually arrive missed us and hit Manchester about 20 miles away instead. The photo is taken from the Soyland area looking out across towards Lumb and Cottonstones, the village church is just off to the right of the picture.
