These photos are of a variety of cirrocumulous clouds. Cirrocumuli are high-level clouds appearing as a formation of small masses of white or pale blue, fleecy clouds in a globular, wavelike, rippled pattern, usually in regularly arranged groupings. Cirrocumulus are composed of highly supercooled water droplets, ice crystals, or a mixture of both. I got this info from http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/reports/wxfacts/Cirrocumulus.htm - a good source! So that's the weather lecture for today - now just enjoy the photos...
Instead of looking up, I see aerial views today. This formation of Cirrocumulus undulatus looks amazingly like the sea foam left on the beach after a wave recedes.
Looking down, I see waves breaking at a distance from the shore (Cirrocumulus lacunosus), but no matter how hard I squint I still can only imagine the surfers riding them.
These white caps (Cirrocumulus floccus) would make for a bumpy ride back to shore!
