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
Rain that Remains

Sunset Spectacle
Mix clouds, blue sky, and setting sun over ocean and beach; stir, then just sit back and enjoy. #sunset #clouds #sky #beach #ocean
Con Art
Unsettled weather patterns set clouds at the cruising altitude of a passing airliner. A jet plowed a furrow through the clouds that quickly filled with the contrail left behind. With the sky as the canvas, the airplane’s trail appeared to be the work of a master “con” artist. #conart #contrail #clouds #sky #jet #airliner
Seasonal Sunrise
Sunrays from below the horizon caressed the wintery clouds with color during a recent morning walk. It quickly faded from red to gold to yellow in a happily-hued transition from twilight to dawn. It seemed a fitting beginning to another day during the season when days are short but hopes are long. #sunrays #clouds #morningContinue reading “Seasonal Sunrise”
Sunset Over the Gulf
Time once again for our Annual Autumn Adventure. We look forward to it all year and now it’s finally here. YAY! #sunset #orangeclouds #gulfofmexico
Orange Trails in the Sunset
Contrails and clouds merge and mingle to provide canvas for the sun to paint its parting picture to be admired by the mindful or ignored by the indifferent. #sunset #clouds #contrails
