We have had a cold spell here in the UK while the jetstream keeps the cooler air around us. It’s warmed up these past few days but the skies have continued to be crazy – what a great time to have joined the Cloud Appreciation Society! :D
On my walk home from work today, some gorgeous cotton wool altocumulus (though some of the cloudlets were much smaller than my finger, I don’t think they were higher), and some fast moving fractus lower down.

Paula, Nice blanket of altocumulus . I always have fun when the altocumulus show up.. Ruth the upper sonoran desert has had 3 days of threatening weather with rain making it to ground last nite and cooling things down a lot. A tropical depression over in the Gulf of Mexico is feeding moisture in to the desert here..muggy..

Nice shot with good detail in shadows Ruth! Yes Ruth, should be grays not purples. Im using Apple desktop photo process which is bare minimum. Color saturation is a problem when going for grays because Apple uses color to achieve gray rather than a grey scale..apparently… Below is the final of the series and maybe the one I like best.

So wish I had more time to post on forum topics, but alas! Be that as it may, I could not let this first day of the New Year pass without thanking all of you dear friends for the joy your images bring. Wishing you skies of surprise in various shapes and shades with the fairest of winds in your sails!

A series from this past November below taken from a couple of different angles. I noticed a similar photo on the Gallery back then by what must be a nearby neighbor. I like the thought of us both looking up to find this unusual cloud formation that spread quite far across the sky.

Thank you Patricia (or do you still prefer Keelin?) for your lovely poetic new year’s wish. I hope you will find every now and then some time to post on the Forum. I always look forward to your wonderful words. And … your Ice Crystal Sailing Vessel is wonderfully fairy like. Half Full or Half Empty as well. With these posts you already contributed to the fulfillment of you wish and I promise I will do my own attempts to do so too.
Is it the beginning of a new year? Michael also starts poetic in the Asperitas thread. Check his last one. I love it.
Here are the traditional Oliebollen with some powder sugar to start the new year with.

Thank you Hans and Michael for kind comments — and the nice dusting of powder sugar!
Taking a scroll through last year’s images above, so many beauties! Ruth, I can’t help but keep returning to your Cotton Candy and Raining down there somewhere. #165 and #172 by Michael and also Dripping and Parallel Structure by Hans are absolute favorites.
On another day more recently, there was this sweep of Cirrus — and a bright spot…
PS: And yes, Hans, still just Keelin is my prefence — thanks for asking. ;)

You’ve got a towering blue beauty in #177, Michael. Reminds me of recent news about a young surfer who rode a 108’ wave last month in Santa Cruz.
And Hans, I love the icy edginess in Shattered, so perfectly titled.
Ruth, I hope you had your running shoes on and escaped — although Big Fingers did make me laugh out loud.
Anyone catch the Wolf Moon a couple nights ago?

Micheal, Yes! That was the Wolf Moon on that very night of the Mars munching. Another slightly different shot from that night was on the CAS Gallery, but slipped into their sunrise/sunset collection. I can see how that might happen as it was really such a yellow moon.
The impressive balancing act in your #178 Cloud Tickle gave me a giggle.

Michael, you have entered some great photos. First off, I have been laughing for days on the Dinner Rolls! #193, for me looking like some way cool trees in the woods. I have had a loll of late in cloud spotting. But I am ready to get back out there and to also review some of my past adventures.
