Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

‘Beware the Blackthorn Winter’ is a country saying about a spell of cold weather in early April which often coincides with the blossoming of the blackthorn (Prunus Spinosa). The pure white of the blackthorn blossom matches the snow or hoar frost covering the fields nearby and almost invariably bitter north easterly winds. The longer days and sun gaining strength at this time of year often give a spell of warmer weather - but then the Blackthorn Winter comes along and reminds us it’s not quite summer yet. Statistically, we are more likely to have snow at Easter than at Christmas.
A Blackthorn Winter can be described as the opposite of an Indian summer.
Blackthorn white blossoms appear before the leaves, creating a contrast against the dark smooth thorny branches. The blackthorn flowers eventually become purple sloes, ripening in autumn and harvested traditionally in October or November, after the first frosts, and used to make a Sloe gin liqueur.
Hilantagaan Island is another island located off the eastern coast of Bantayan Island. It's not as popular as the other attractions in the area but two white sand beaches, karst formations, a white sandbar and coral reef at its southern end make it a favorable destination. There are also two small fishing villages located in the area where boatmen offer their vessels for island-hopping tours at very reasonable rates.

Put some foreground visible silhouette
Use grasses or trees for framing perspective

Another look at that awesome cloud now seen floating over and reflecting into the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. We first saw it while on Tangier Island. This time we were on the ferry boat ride back to Reedsville and some more back road riding. Due to the times of the ferry boat rides, you only have two hours on the island, but that's OK because it's not a very big island and it's a working island so not too much to see!
Would you like to come cloud watching with me?
We can while away the afternoon
Just to step out of time is all we need
Looking out for the other rule
Cos there’s no place
I’d rather be
There’s no one
I’d rather see
Would you like to come cloud watching with me?
We can watch the world roll on by
Dreaming up all the endless possibilities
Staring into the open sky
Would you like to come cloud watching with me?
We don’t have to talk at all
If we lie on our backs in the green green grass
I guarantee there’s no way to fall
Cos there’s no place
I’d rather be
And there’s no one
I’d rather see
And together watch the blues get blown away
Cos there are so many clouds in the sky today

An image from New Mexico, where after getting slammed by super high winds and a generous helping of small pea to marble sized hail by the shipload the storm finally passed... and I had to stop for this.
My new Sony a6000 arrived today and it was put to the test capturing the clouds of threatening Monsoon storms over PHX.
Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) are clouds in the winter polar stratosphere at altitudes of 15,000–25,000 m (49,000–82,000 ft). They are best observed during civil twilight, when the Sun is between 1 and 6 degrees below the horizon, as well as in winter and in more northerly latitudes.[1] One main type of PSC is made up mostly of supercooled droplets of water and nitric acid and is implicated in the formation of ozone holes.[2] The other main type consists only of ice crystals which are not harmful. This type of PSC is also referred to as nacreous (/ˈneɪkriəs/, from nacre, or mother of pearl, due to its iridescence).
