After hitting the 101 mark on Vol11 with Keelin’s wintry blanket and Han’s Virga allow me to begin Vol12 with , what else, more Pileus. All these Pileus shots were taken from my backyard from July thru August. The first hills rising out of the desert are a few short miles north, and North Mountain is just east . So yea the clouds created trying to get over those hills, visually aren’t far away. A zoom telephoto lens helps a lot also.

Michael, your pileus offerings are a splendid start for Volume XII, and #124 is like a soft murmuration. Lovely!
Ruth, your Cloud Dance has joyful feel. (And might that be a mermaid with glowing head swimming her way through it?)
And Hans, I love the contrast of smooth and rippled textures and the movement in your image above. I’d like to hear the dream that was dreamt upon it.

I like that shot Keelin. If it were mine, and it isn’t, i’d crop off 80% of the bottom blue. Just a narrow blue strip sends the eye rite to the bird, making the trees a new and necessary part of the photo. Well Done!
Your lacunosus has neat depth to it Hans. The colors are wild too!

Ah, Michael, I clearly see what you mean! Thank you for the excellent re-cropping suggestion.
And Hans, I think you may also be right about that fallstreak hole—a bird-created portal to who-knows-where. I only hope your Sticky cloud wasn’t waiting on the other side! It has a seductively soft appeal.
If you’ve ever sneezed into a bowl of powered sugar, this next image might look familiar.

Ruth, Yes ,looks to me like you caught a pileus. Remember the physics involved: Quick rising columns of warm congestus compressing the water out of the atmosphere overhead..making cloud. So, yes all the ingredients are there in the shot. A fun part of pileus spotting is ..how faint is the earliest call that a pileus is forming. That one is the other side, a well developed pileus evolving in to possible velum.

Oh those blues! Love the sweep in Catch…, Hans, and the bubbly feeling of #156, Michael.
And Ruth, you caught the spot light just right in Anyone Have a Light — a lovely scene. And congrats on your misty morning on the Gallery! I imagine the fairies, those quiet, early risers, were already up to mischief in the woods there.
More blues anyone?
