The Sun is a drama queen!
The Sun and her supporting clouds performed for us 1-17-18.
Tic Tac Toe, anyone?
Tic tac toe, anyone? A sky full of contrails! With all this cold, it looks like everyone is getting out of town!
Sunset over frozen Potomac River
Sunset over frozen Potomac River is beyond imagining! My granddaughter asked what was wrong with the water. It wasn’t moving!
Altostratus translucidus clouds!
Looks like my advection fog photo from a few days ago but these are “Altostratus translucidus” clouds. Per David M. Carroll, “The low sun is a white disk in a smoked-glass sky.”

Compare colors in photos before and after sunset
Before sunset the colors are difficult to capture. Date 12-4-17.
Once the sun is covered, colors reappear.
After sunset the clouds are in power. Now the sun’s light is reflected rather than blinding and in your face.

Blackbirds gather in the afternoon
Grackles gather in the afternoon, filling the treetops! Winter is coming! I call them pepper birds because they sprinkle like pepper across the sky!
In a whirr of grackle wings and calls, they are off to their next stop!
Sunrise facing West-Northwest
Sunrise is a wonderful experience, no matter which direction you face. This morning I was startled by the beauty of sunrise as I looked to the west-northwest.
It only takes a moment…
Cloud watching is not just for kids. Add a camera to remind you of how swiftly they change. Enjoy the moment! We only have this one.
Dr. Seuss knew how to draw clouds!
There are afternoons when each cloud looks like it floated right out of a beloved Dr. Seuss book. Yesterday afternoon’s sky was filled with Dr. Seuss’ crazy characters. Which book did this creature come from? Think of it as another Crayola Moment for you, too!
