There were some crazy cloud patterns earlier this week in Raleigh and as the sun began to set. The wind was blowing and the higher clouds were streaked across the sky. The cloud patterns were changing so fast ~ it was amazing to watch.

Ever changing cloud formations right on the edge of the thunderstorm yesterday.

Thanks to all the Birthday wishes for Poppy. Her photo got into explore but I wont let the fame go to her head too much :)

Funnel cloud that lasted about 3-4 minutes..

While flying over the Atlantic on route to Mexico we went through some amazing clouds

Afternoon clouds building into an evening desert monsoon storm. Taken from my back yard, looking south into Avra Valley, just west of Tucson Arizona. The moisture comes up through Mexico from the Sea of Cortez

A one in a life time experience on moutain Teide in Tenerife, Spain. It was amazing.

Most interesting pics (via darkR)

Early this afternoon when the breezy air was unusually dry – under 20% r.h., which is rare in north Florida. iPhone 8+ photo taken almost directly overhead.

Enough rain to postpone the bike time trials for a while. Wet track had to be dried off. Due to the track being on a steep angle the rain drains fast.

Taken a couple of miles from the 16,000 acre Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Kent County, Delaware. My son and I had spent about three hours in the refuge and just about the time we were ready to leave these clouds began to gather and we had some heavy rains. A beautiful ending to a wonderful day.

Last Summer

This is not a shot spectacular enough to even post to my own pool (Spectacular Skyscapes), but I find it quite interesting. Some thunderstorm clouds (cumulonimbus) acquire the name anvil cloud, as the tops of taller ones may be sheared off and flattened out by straight line winds at higher altitudes, giving them the appearance of a blacksmith's anvil. This anvil-like cloud (it is too low to be a true anvil cloud) formed at sunset a few days ago, but on that day dissipated and brought no rain to my drought-stricken garden.

EDIT: I changed my mind and decided to invite this into the SpecSky pool*, especially since I would be posting it next to something quite similar but a bit more spectacular.

*I can do that because I'm the administrator. :-)
