During sunset, a cloud flew in in an amazing shape (a bird, a dragon, and maybe an angel ...)
A little understanding of the physics of cloud formation underscores the complexity of the atmosphere and sheds light on why predicting weather for more than a few days is such a challenge.
Six types of clouds you can see and how they can help you understand the weather.
1) Cumulus clouds - On a sunny day, rays warm the earth, which heats the air located directly above it. The heated air rises upward due to convection and forms cumulus clouds. These “good weather” clouds are like cotton wool. If you look at the sky filled with cumulus clouds, you can see that they have a flat bottom, located at the same level for all clouds. At this altitude, air rising from ground level cools down to the dew point. It usually doesn't rain from cumulus clouds, which means the weather will be good.
2) Cumulonimbus clouds.
Small cumulus clouds do not rain, but if they grow and grow in height, it is a sign that heavy rain is coming soon. This often happens in summer when morning cumulus clouds turn into cumulonimbus during the day. Cumulonimbus clouds often have a flat top. Air convection occurs inside such a cloud, and it gradually cools until it reaches the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. At this moment, it loses its buoyancy and can no longer rise higher. Instead, it spreads out to the sides, forming the characteristic anvil shape.
3) Cirrus clouds form in very high layers of the atmosphere. They are smoky because they are composed entirely of ice crystals falling in the atmosphere. When cirrus clouds are carried by winds moving at different speeds, they take on a characteristic curved shape. And only at very high altitudes or at high latitudes, cirrus clouds give out rain that reaches the ground.
4) Stratus Clouds - A low-lying, continuous cloud sheet that covers the sky. Stratus clouds are formed by slowly rising air or gentle winds that cover the cold land or sea surface with moist air. Stratus clouds are thin, therefore, despite the gloomy picture, it is unlikely to rain from them, a little drizzle at most. Stratus clouds are identical to fog, so if you've ever walked in a mountainous area on a foggy day, you've been inside a cloud.
5) Lenticular clouds. Smooth and lenticular lenticular clouds form when air is blown up and over a mountain range, and as it travels over a mountain, the air descends to its previous level. At this time, it heats up and the cloud evaporates. But it can slip further, as a result of which the air rises again and forms another lenticular cloud. This can result in a chain of clouds extending far beyond the mountain range. The interaction of wind with mountains and other surface features is one of the many details that must be taken into account in computer simulations to obtain accurate weather predictions.
6) Kelvin - Helmholtz like a breaking ocean wave. When air masses at different heights move horizontally at different speeds, their state becomes unstable. The boundary between the air masses begins to ripple and form large waves, such clouds are quite rare.

This is a non-breeding adult Black Tern. It was an overcast morning on the lake. The birders with their scopes were having a hard time with the ID. So my pic was the deciding factor. Bucks County PA.

When I stopped admiring the source of the Rhine and looked behind me, I saw these protected Alpine beauties, the large (5 - 20cm) Alpine asters! Not just one, but a whole bunch. I had to climb higher on a steep slope, but I absolutely wanted a good shot of them.
Nice to bump into one of these increasingly rare summer migrants during a recent trip to the Peak District :-)
we very rarely get snow on Vancouver Island.
but since i returned from India we have been gripped in the coldest winter weather in memory ..
normally i am bragging about flowers in February . ha ha
Male Northern shoveler. It's a rare moment because these dabbling ducks usually have their heads under water. So one has to be quick and time the dabbling. Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Galloway, NJ.
There's a palamedes in the house... Okay, it's in the yard and not in the house but I always get so excited when these beauties visit. They are more rare than most of the other butterflies that visit. I say most because the zebra swallowtail is the most rare butterfly visitor I get. And yes, I will chase the palamedes and the zebra swallowtail all over the yard.
I have red bay and swamp bay in my yard, both are host plants for the palamedes. I have yet to find any eggs to raise in protective custody. Maybe one day :) The same goes for the zebra swallowtail, I have never found one to raise indoors. I do have paw paws, which are the host plants for the zebra swallowtail I saw one of those through the window the other day but when I went out to chase it, I was out of luck because it was no where to be found.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope your day is splendid. Happy snapping :)

Went to see this bird. It didnt come very close, but got some record shots at least. A lovely bird!
As always, many thanks for taking the time to view, fave and comment. That's very much appreciated
Stay safe!
I captured the spiral from the ground floor.
The architect designed another staircase to get from ground floor to second floor.
So there is the chance to photograph this staircase without interfering influences like a down coming spiral and railings.
The pure yin- and yang shape ... ;-) ...

The Pileated Woodpecker is in our area, but not in great abundance. I see one about every three years. Was thrilled to find this male in my favorite forest.

The colorful Lewis’s woodpecker is a rare visitor to our area and It is a “life bird” for me…never seen one before! It was named after Meriwether Lewis who first saw the bird in 1805 while on his famous westward journey with William Clark. According to Cornell, it is a woodpecker in name, but it forages like a flycatcher and flies like a crow! Santa Margarita, CA
Not my usual type of subject, but when I came across this gorgeous Green Anole I had to take its photo. Sadly, our native lizards like this guy have been pushed out by larger, more aggressive Cuban Anoles. :(
CN 2417 leads train 435 under the signals at Paris Junction.
With so many C40-8M's up for sale, stored or going for scrap, having this unit leading was quite the treat.
Small forest of hardwoods keeps watch over Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area in Chanhassen/Chaska, Minnesota.
This was originally the site of the Mudcura Sanitarium, a world-famous spa that was opened in 1909 and operated until 1951.
Per MNOpedia, in 1951, the sanitarium was sold to the Black Franciscans, Order of Friars Minor Conventual, from Louisville, Kentucky. They named it Assumption Seminary and the site became linked with both the Colleges of St. Catherine and St. Thomas in St. Paul.
The Seminary remained in operation until 1970 and then sat vacant for many years, becoming a popular hangout for teens and other thrill seekers. The main building burned and was demolished in 1997.
The land is now home to the Minnesota DNR Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area that protects the rare calcareous fen that is now the star of the show here.

The Agami Heron is a very rare sighting as they travel close to the edge of the rivers and if there is any noise they are quick to head for cover and safety. We were so fortunate to have seen one on our recent trip to the Pantanal, Brazil . It remained in view for quite some time and we were thrilled to be able to observe just how beautiful this agami heron is.
Enjoy your day and may it be a very blessed one. Thank you all for your kind likes and comments !!
