this just happened... I looked out the window of my house, saw the clouds, hauled ass to the beach and snapped this moment. I wish I was there about 15 minutes earlier and had my wide angle lens on me!

Sorry for the back to back sunset postings... but when you live in a town like this, what can you expect?

Clouds after sunset

In a field last week, with birds wheeling all around - the mowing tractor had disturbed them...

Oh those blue skies are very nice

but if you stop to think twice,

by clouds they are enhanced

and they keep us all entranced.

When fascination takes root

photographs we must shoot,

and with camera in hand

we will wander the land.

When we start to obsess

of cloudscapes to possess,

life takes on a new meaning

and there’s no time for cleaning!

The weather may be foul or fair

but there’ll still be clouds up there,

and we can take photo’s galore

then stop, to take just one more.

Of our collections we are proud

especially that elusive cloud,

and to catch an optical effect

can really make our day perfect.

I don't know what kind of clouds these are that I shot on yesterday morning's walk, but they presaged much needed rain.

EDIT: Someone in the Cloud Appreciation Society on Facebook says these are altocumulus with perhaps some mammatus in the lower right.

Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve, Ecuador

Monday sunrise, gorgeous clear morning

for documentary purposes, I took a picture of the spontaneous cloud cover last night.

while I was taking this picture, I was surrounded by owls and bats and wolves (all based on auditory clues only).

A few interesting clouds over the last bit of sun at Jordan Lake State Recreation Area.

Before it got here there were some seriously cool clouds blowing around. Unfortunately they never look as good in two dimensional pictures as as they do in the real 3D world.

On the other hand, in pictures the wind doesn't blow the ceiling down on my head....
