November 14th - Heron Lift-Off

The way the shadow was cast downward off this cumulonimbus cloud (at least that's my best guess on cloud type) made this cloudscape look like a giant heron lifting off from the shore. The shadow definitely provided an animated quality to the image.

November 13th - Fun Friday!

Today the only clouds to be had were the man-made kind. This contrail looked like fun in the sky!

November 12th - Big Brother is Watching

I looked through the camera lens and there was a giant eye looking back at me - strange being watched by the storm!

November 11th - Double, double, toil and trouble...

The remnants of Ida were still evident in this afternoon's sky! It was stormy and threatening, and the way the sunlight skimmed across the top of this cloud made it look like a caldron of bubbling light.

November 10th - Here Comes Ida!

We probably won't see much severe weather here in Orlando, but the outer bands of any hurricane are easily recognizable. These skies can be truly awesome.

November 9th - Hurricane Rainbow

There is a very unusual late season hurricane Ida in the Gulf Coast which is creating some unusual weather here in the outer bands...



I think this upper level rainbow was from light refracted in ice vapor. It sounds pretty good anyway...

November 8th - Shiitake Sky

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