Clouds and Contrails

 


I drove over to The Farm, our grocery store to get a piece of salmon for grilling for dinner.  I saw noticed all these different clouds in the sky, and several contrails.  "Contrails" come from the exhaust of jet engines of airplanes flying overhead, at high altitudes.  I don't know the names of the different clouds at different levels.  The thin wispy ones at top center right are cirrus.  I didn't like that my first photogrph had too much dark foreground sticking up into the sky.  I had to come over to CVS to get some almonds, and when I looked up again, the horizon was so much lower and simpler, and that is this photograph. There is something uplifting, I think to see a blue sky with some thin white clouds in it, don't you think?

I love wispy Cirrus clouds. It makes everything feel light. That’s exactly what this morning felt like because half the sky looked like this. Betsey
