Michael- nothing does not rhyme with orange! Love the soft color.

Selective color.

A dramatic cloudscape

Iridescence? A nice lenticular cloud complex just after sunset.

A nice combination, Ruth. Big puffball cumulus and maybe some virga.

More of the ragged clouds

Half moon with a 28mm wide angle lens and maybe ragged cirrocumulus clouds? I’m still not very confident with ID. These appear more broken and ragged than other photos of cirrocumulus.

Very cool to see s soft sunrise from France, Donatella.

2:30 and 4:30 p.m., January 23. In the Pacific Northwest, Washington, we can go for days without the clouds changing at all. Then a front can move in and the clouds change minute by minute!

A loooong lenticular

Early sun

Ruth, love the lake and clouds. Here’s another near sunset.

Thanks Hans. It makes sense to me what you say. It was a great cloud day with many changes over time. I have other photos of lacunosus but not with so little cloud fringe around the holes or so smooth. Here are three more photos showing how it was changing. I need to think about altocumulus developing into cirrus, new to my thinking about cloud formation.

Luminous lenticular

I wouldn’t have guessed that. All the photos I’ve seen have lobes. Is this a special or less common form? Here is another photo with more included.

Threads everywhere. Cirrus but what variety?
