SkyWatch - Early morning ride

Early in the morning when I fed the chickens

I spied my roses flowering in winter,

lighting up the fog

By the time we were finished at the Farmers' Market,

the sky was blue and clouds came rolling in

fun to watch and drive by shoot

since my daughter drove me

 in my new, second hand UTE.

The white clouds were rising and the grey ones coming down

and by the time we got home,

it had clouded over.

No complaints, we really need the rain.

SkyWatch - Wind and Eye Candy

Just a few interesting visible wind phenomena,

a contrail twisted by an upper atmosphere wind stream

oops, this is a bit of a ring-in, I saw some crows flying overhead,

did a fast reaction body twist and snap . . . gotcha!

A layer of cloud sweeping in,

can you see the associated wind turbulence that is whipping up 

the clouds into a frothing surf?

When the wind does that at ground level where you cannot 

see it, it can toss and topple a plane on landing,

not pleasant for anyone. Airports at some locations are closed

and all traffic diverted under such conditions.

Enough of the lesson in meteorology, here is some gentle 

eye candy, just some cumulo-nimbus at sunset.

Don't you just love watching the sky?

I do.

SkyWatch - This and That

To look at this, you would think there is nothing

much going on in the sky

just turn your head a little and the picture is entirely different.

Although it looked great, that is all it did.
