Today involved a lot of sky watching. There were cirrostratus clouds in a blue sky. Below these, amazing examples of cumulonimbus clouds were building. Perfect examples of how tall such clouds can grow. Some looked like plumes of smoke billowing into the atmosphere. While lovely specimens, these large clouds looked rather ominous -- portents of thunderstorms. We do need rain, but without intensity or the accompanying lightening. Things are dry. A good day-long light soaking rain would be welcomed.
I chatted with a couple of friends while on campus to print a document. One had taken a photo last evening of the milky way with pinkish aurora and even captured a meteor shooting through the frame. An amazing photo. The sunset this evening was gorgeous, too -- pinkish orange layers in a perfectly clear blue sky.
So, it seems we've been looking up a lot recently and have had a lot to see when gazing skyward. A song about clouds and rain was chosen for the day. Keep safe. Enjoy!
