Thanks, also,to Dot and Tom, who were instrumental in the success of this blogging event. You should definitely come fly with us!
Well, with my wonderful groom and Mini-Dew (and even the doggone dog) both sick yesterday, I was pretty tied up caring for the two of them, didn't even get on the computer. They have the virus that I happened to have on Monday, which basically involved an upset stomach, chills and extreme tiredness. My sources indicate that this strange "bug" is making its rounds. Fortunately, rest was just what the doctor ordered, and they are back where they are supposed to be. If you gotta have a "bug", a short-lived one is the best kind to have.
I took the above shot on Sunday. We had just gotten back from grocery shopping on Sunday, when I looked up to see this amazingly sheared stream of cirrus clouds, sweeping across the entire sky. Mixed in were some random "Mare's Tail" cirrus clouds, which are the whipped looking clouds, sort of resembling a mare's tail, hence the name. They look like little hooks in the clouds.
As for weather... well, yet another snow storm pummels the country, further busting snow removal budgets all over the place, which have been under the strain of a worse than normal snow and ice coverage year. We are back under a flood watch. Looking on the bright side, at least we aren't dealing with drought again...
Have a beautiful day!

A very pretty sight and glad your camera was handy. Usually when I see something, I cannot find mine quick enough.
ReplyDeleteWonderful clouds. I love that you know all the names for them.
ReplyDeleteHi Dew,
ReplyDeleteI always learn something here and thank you for that. I don't think I've ever seen these cloud formations. Gives me something to look for.
About always learning something - back when Tom was at the helm and you posted some 'learning' images you taught us about sundogs. I see them all the time now that I know when and where to look. Saw one yesterday and even my Hubs is starting to remember what I've told him. :)
Have a wonderful weekend! I hope I'm not digging out from a lot of snow.
Love how these clouds look as if you have captured some movement through time! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteSome stunning clouds here, great shot, well done.
ReplyDeleteHappy SWF.

those are some very unusual-looking clouds. They look very pretty though!
ReplyDeleteI wish we had clouds like that too!
Those wispy clouds are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI don't know one cloud from the other but it doesn't stop me from appreciating what magical things clouds can do across that expanse of blue. I like this. :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful!! Like a painting:)

What a unique blog you have! I've come over from The Zen of Motherhood to visit and have really enjoyed myself.
ReplyDeleteI agree that a "short-lived bug" is the best kind, pleased that all of yours are doing well.
