When the sky decides to photobomb summer…
Low clouds roll over the Holyoke Range, making the cornfield and farmhouse look like part of a model train set.

The sky showed off todayβ€”cirrus fibratus, uncinus (mares’ tails), intortus, even unruly contrails masquerading as clouds.
Just wisps doing what they do best.

Cloud Appreciation Society member, Macduff Everton, spotted Cumulus and Cirrocumulus clouds above a cast of Rodin’s sculpture The Thinker in Tokyo. "People have wondered what he’s thinking about," said Macduff. "It’s obvious, he has his head in the clouds." Credit: Cloud Appreciation Society

Now winter solstice is upon us. Today will be both the shortest day and longest night of 2024. In this season of introspection and renewal, may you find strength in stillness, wisdom among the trees and rivers, and the inspiration to transform like the ever-changing skies above.
