Anyone interested in documenting ONLY clouds? I'll start us off with a few...Victor got me into this. I am doing it every day!
Anyone for JUST CLOUDS??
Here's another: these are all from last week through this second week og August 08.
Some more:
And:
Some of them I was unable to exclude the treetops or some landscape to get the cloud formation, but its really about the clouds:
c'mon guys, join in the fun! You know, there is a "cloud divination" practiced by ancient and current Druids :-)
more:
again:
ok - last one from me for now:
Very interesting pics. Like the clouds through the grass and fields pics, makes a nice color contrast, especially the last one. Pretty much for a month now we have had clouds of some sort almost every day. So I go out to look for some today. Beautiful clear blue sky in just about every direction. Then looked to the west and there it is, the only cloud any where in view. It ain't much but it's mine for today. :)

Here is a shot of some from today

I just love clouds.
I have a copy of "The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Weather", which I picked up about 15 yrs ago at Barnes & Noble. It has pictures of just about every cloud formation there is in the US, along with the proper name, description altitudes and significance. It also has some phenomena like 'Dog Ears', Halos, Rainbows, Sub-sun etc. Very informative little book. ☺

Acadia National Park.....today.
OOh, WC - sounds like something I'll need to find.
Great pic, pixie.
Thanks for starting this one, Morrigan. Your pictures are fantastic.
Hey everyone, thanks for the compliments and I am SO happy some folk share my love of clouds. After all, we rely on them to eventually water our beautiful gardens. I hope we can keep this thread running, because I am sure we can find some incredible formations.
WC: I MUST find that book. DH and I were just talking not fifteen minutes ago about finding a field guide to clouds, their proper formation names, and all the data that go with them. I am so excited. But I must reiterate that credit for the commitment to photograph the clouds every single day goes to Victor, whose a master photo taker, and his "today's weather" threads. What a wonderful end=-of-year journal though, to see the progression of the seasons with just cloud photos, and then match them to the garden photos. Thank you all so much.
I have one
Good "hunting" Morrigan!
I like that National Park Pixie, looks like it's 3k above sea level!
Nice shot onewish ☺
- I don't do many cloud pics but here's one.
Here's another, same day...
I have always been facinated by the cloud formastions so will get you some. The only one I have now is a reflection from the camper window. BEV
Hey!! we had a cloud thread a month ago, I personally love clouds,and any sky phenemona.
Victor must be on vaca, along with Dave47 and Hemhostaholic,havn't seen them for awhile.
When the sun comes up I'll shoot some from here.
Great thread
Here's one taken upstairs out the roof of the GreenHouse.
Pardon the kitsch.
Since I was an infant, I have been told I like owls, so everyone finds them for me. Not that I don't like owls, but I have grown to like them more. I do find real owls fascinating.
Clear skies today but the jets are flying

sunnier day and clouds building up

These are amazing photos! Aren't they beautiful to behold, everyone? Is it my imagination, or is this year a banner year for incredible cloud formations????
NYRS - nice series, there.
Good ones, JoAnn and Morrigan. I'm really enjoying this thread.
