We noticed this strange cloud as we embarked on our morning walk yesterday. Its extraordinary appearance had us momentarily puzzled and then it dawned on us, SpaceX had launched another Falcon 9 rocket laden with 29 Starlink satellites minutes before. It wasn’t a cloud, it was SpaceX rocket exhaust. (SpaceXhaust?) #clouds #rocketexhaust #falcon9 #spacex #starlink

Line Items
One after another, jets left their trails in the blue sky surrounded by cirrus clouds suspended like curtains on a stage. If two more jets had left their trail, it would have resembled a music staff in the sky awaiting for clouds to form notes and set the stage for morning’s song. #contrails #jets #cloudsContinue reading “Line Items”
My Side of the Clouds
Looking up at the morning sky, I couldn’t help wondering what it was like on the other side of the clouds. The ever-deepening blue of the sky gave a hint. As the Artemis II astronauts gazed back at a tiny, crescent earth from beyond the moon, their comments described its blue and white color standingContinue reading “My Side of the Clouds”
Hunter in the Clouds
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
