SKY SIGHTS

Did you see that strange sight in the sky last night?


I couldn't tell at first if it was a UFO (Flying Saucer) or a Great Grey Whale, though I had no idea why a whale would be cruising around in the sky.

My wife wisely stated, it's a cloud, silly!


That's why she's known as SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed).

But there were some weird shapes in the sky.






I don't know what you'd call those long flat shaped clouds.

I'd probably call them pancakes.

(Yeah, SWMBO is scoffing at that too.)

Meanwhile, the other direction the sky was lit up like a wildfire as the sun was going down.







Meanwhile back on Terra Firma, my friend Jocko the Mockingbird did not seem impressed.


He just gazed at The Blue Cat as if to say "Is this water fresh?"

Lenticular clouds, I believe is the term.

Tom, not that I know of.

Zhoen, you are correct, as I have been advised by a pilot on Facebook.

I've been waiting to see some cloud build up down here but nothing yet.

It sounds like you had a relaxing time in the garden!

One cloud in the fifth shot looks like it's giving the finger.

William, just above the duck's head, right?
