This cumulonimbus cloud, dramatically backlit by the sun rolled itself up and over until it resembled a giant Shiitake Mushroom overhead.

September 7th - Reflection, Cotton Candy, Flying Saucers and Mushrooms

Every way I turned this afternoon there was a different skyscape - so many different kinds of clouds in different combinations were fuel for my imagination.

Three distinct levels of clouds look like a giant flying saucer hovering over mountains with clouds above.

These beautiful, mid - level clouds seem to be like a cloud reflected in a pool of water, or spun like cotton candy.
