Passing clouds framed Orion in the early evening sky as I patiently waited for them to part for a glimpse of Jupiter, the giant planet, in another part of the sky. I could hardly begrudge the fluffy clouds since they rewarded my patience with spectacular views of both the constellation and later, the planet. #orionContinue reading “Hunter in the Clouds”

Evening Embers
Clouds from a warm front brought a brief winter respite and glowed in the evening sky like embers in a wood-burning stove. #clouds #evening #embers #sunset
Fingers in the Sky
Fingers of clouds caught rays of the rising sun to colorfully contrast with the soft, blue background. They rise where my spirit soars; not a day goes by that I don’t dream of the sky and what lies beyond. #clouds #sunrays #colorandcontrast #dreamsofthesky
Tropic Time
Gray, somber clouds blanked the sky with the threat of rain. This was a regional storm system, not quite a “tropical depression” and definitely not a “tropical storm.” No, this was just a prelude that I call a “tropical wad,” which portends the beginning of the hurricane season. It’s heeeere! #clouds #weather #tropicalstorm #hurricaneseason
Sunrise: Contrails, Clouds, and Colors
Colorful clouds and contrail lances graced the pastel blue of the morning sky. Though the ever-changing colors lasted only a few moments, the memories remained to brighten the whole day. #sunrise #contrails #clouds #morning
Return of the Rays
The days are slowly getting longer now, but for the past week or more it was impossible to tell. Cold fronts left the skies gray and even dropped some welcome rain here, though elsewhere in northern Florida, record snow fell. However, the sunlight has finally returned, and though we had freezing temperatures yesterday, warmer weatherContinue reading “Return of the Rays”
Raggedy Cloud Pastels
The weather gods were at it again with different types of clouds at varying heights splashed with kaleidoscope colors across a canvas of blue sky. Rain and cold may have been on its way, but for a brief while, the preview was a chaotic delight. #rain #clouds #lightshow #kaleidoscope #weather
Cool Front
Cool weather has finally arrived here in central Florida with the passage of this season’s first real cold front a few days ago. Gusty, northerly winds buffeted the trees and even scattered my yard bags across the lawn and down the street after the yard waste that they contained had been picked up. Gray cloudsContinue reading “Cool Front”
Clouds in the Hood
The plane departed Portland International Airport and climbed quickly through the overcast. Its path took us south of Mount Hood with its late-summer slopes frocked with clouds and its peak nearly devoid of snow. How strange it looked without the snow and ice mantle that we had been accustomed to seeing. Though quiescent at thisContinue reading “Clouds in the Hood”
Cumulo-pelican
Ascending clouds in the morning light foretold of rains to come. This cumulonimbus cloud, to me, briefly resembled a pelican. However, instead of a large bird plunging into the water, this scene tuned into more water plunging down on us, over 10 inches this month. #cumulonimbus #clouds #pelican #rain
