A beautiful windy sky with white cumulus cloud puffs makes for a wonderful Christmas Eve day - and then there was this added bonus of a stork flying overhead just as I snapped this photo - could he be on his way to Bethlehem?

These cirrus clouds were whipped into a whirlwind today - and they reminded me of the coke bottle cyclones that appeared in every science fair during my kids elementary school years.

Cirrus clouds generally refer to atmospheric clouds that are characterized by thin, wisp-like strands. This blanket of cirrus clouds looks like it was "embossed" from above by these two adjoining contrails.
