Just Clouds. Got any Faves?
This was at St. Pete Beach, FL as a tropical depression was winding in from the southeast.
Saw these while driving home from work. Pulled over, rolled down window and took a shot. Sometimes it's just that easy.
You asked for just clouds.. okay
Montana Clouds
What part of the country do ya'll get beautiful clouds like these?! lol
I like clouds. I notice in another cloud thread someone had names for different formations. Is there a cloud dictionary published? I only know of four.
I have three that I selected--had a hard time doing that. The first is at sunset in Southern Oregon. The red of the sun is reflected off the clouds. The second is in Northern California of a mountain in Lassen Volcanic Park. The clouds spiraling up on the left side of the picture make it look like the mountain is erupting. The third is a sunrise on the Olympic Penninsula

WOW! Each and everyone of these posted above is a stunner. Clouds are one of my most favorite subjects. Here is a sampling from a July thunderstorm in Montana where I live.
Spaceweather.com is a good source for getting descriptions and names of clouds and their subcategories
right before a storm was coming in, back in the summer

Beautiful. That's why I always try to have my camera handy. I've missed some beautiful shots because it was at home on my desk.
