Sky Watch

"Mackerel in the sky, three days dry"

"Mackerel sky, mackerel sky. Never long wet, never long dry"

"Mare's tails and Mackerel scales, make tall ships carry low sails"

Altocumulus.

The phrase 'mackerel sky' came from the fact that it looks like

the markings of an adult king mackerel.

Altocumulus clouds form when there is moisture present at middle levels,

and when temperatures rang from colder than freezing to a little warmer than freezing.

If the altocumulus are growing in area and thickness with time, and are

approaching from the wind direction at the cloud's level, then a change toward moister weather is indicated.

Hip Hip Hurray!!!!

I finely got my thunder storm.

This one was a thunder shower,

it was pretty exciting!

Most of it was about fifteen second away,

but it was a nice show.

This pic and the one below,

is the sun set after the storm

or,

the calm after the storm.

This picture was taken a few night ago,

I enjoyed it so much I had to share it with you,

I hope you enjoy it too!!!

There are a great many views of the sky to be seen.

I Called It

On our way home Mom, Anna and I saw some really cool clouds, and I said, "It looks like thunder."

.

When we got home the clouds were looking more and more mysterious.

.

So I went out back to get some better pics, and when I returned to the barnyard to finish my chores for the evening, I heard the first crash of thunder off in the distance.

.

I was so excited, I jumped up and down clapping my hands, all most crying with excitement.

.

I absolutely love thunder and lightning storms.

.

A few years ago we had a huge thunder and lightning storm in the middle of the night, it was so loud and so close I woke with a jump. We watched that storm all night from our screen porch, the most exciting one I had ever seen or heard became a memorable night.

.

This one only rumbled twice and was never heard from again. But these clouds viewed with the fam and pups from the pumpkin patch is certainly notable.

.

On the other horizon the sky was turning pink. I love the pretty peach color in this picture, don't you?

.

Thanks for visiting me and my blog, I hope you have a spectacular weekend.

A Gray Mothers’ Day

Even though the sky was gray,

we all had a fun filled day.

If you go to my mom’s blog,

you can see all the fun.

You may be wondering what that these clouds mean,

rain! rain!! rain!!!

I think this last picture looks like a scorpion.

How is the sky in your world today?

Today my sky looks the same as this, thick and drippy.

Pink Sky At Night Shepherd's Delight.

That saying is very true because today is beautiful,

-

I took these pics a couple weeks ago,

there was a beautiful sun set last night also but I didn't get any

pictures of it.

-

This sky from earlier is just as pretty.

-

I don't think pink sky watching could ever get old.

Sky Watch

Today's selection was captured early last week before we got our wild Easter weather.

These clouds are cirrus uncinus or mares' tails. They occur often, though we get so much lower cloud cover that we rarely see them. They are of very little significance, they are formed when there is moisture at higher levels that is colder than freezing.
