Such a lovely display against the dark blue sky.
I love how these bits of cirrus were all lined up...

Nice Shelf Cloud
We had a nice storm approaching this evening and I ran out and got pictures of the leading edge as it came in. It had a lovely shelf cloud.
The bulk of the storm was passing to the north of us and for a short while the last remnants of the sunset were visible through the rain and lit up the base of the clouds.

Nice clouds from this evening
We have some tiny showers passing through, but the way the clouds looked as the sun was getting low was really nice. I had my camera with me so I grabbed a few shots.

Sunset
Some storms in the area but they are very persistently avoiding our house. The sunset was quite lovely though, despite the poor situation of the house.

Cloud-Watching at the Beach
There have been some lovely clouds here while we've been at the beach (AL coast).
Not that this has anything to do with meteorology, but it's my blog and I can put whatever I want on it: I was very disappointed the first few nights we were here were so cloudy. I had brought my binoculars (very nice ones) and star charts so I could take advantage of the low light pollution. The last two nights, however, were very clear and I was able to see quite a lot. Sagittarius is prominently in the south and it's a busy area. Lots of open and globular clusters, several nebulae and just generally a lot of stars (right in the Milky Way). I saw the Lagoon Nebula and M22 for the first time. (;

| Love the contrast. We had a lot of rain off and on the beginning of the week. |

Cloud photos from the air
I took a week's retreat in PA and took some nifty cloud shots from the air, coming and going. I'm not going to try to stick labels on anything, just enjoy:
