For the past two years, Sharon, in her own words, had been chasing a photo of The Dickinson Homestead with just the right cirrus clouds above - delicate, feathered, sky-scrawled wisps that might echo Emily Dickinson’s most beloved metaphor. And it finally happened. As a reminder, this is the first stanza of her famous poem: “Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - Cirrus spotted over The Dickinson Homestead, Amherst, Massachusetts, US

Hi Maisie
Cool eh!I have just joined the couldappreciation socoiety, best £2 ever, ever spent!
this type of cloud is indicative of possible or likely tornado threats.Beautiful though it may be, for those who have been through tornadoes…it is a vision of awe and, yes, fear…
The presence of mammatus clouds often indicates a vigorous cumulonimbus in the vicinity. If the mammatus clouds are relatively weak, in distance, and not approaching, the threat from the storm that produced them is not likely to be very great. However, if they are large and approaching, the sky should be watched closely for the possibility of severe weather.
