I love autumnal cloudscapes

And this post has three of them!

I've been spending more time on my beadwork and less time writing posts.

It's the very best time of the year: temperatures between 50 - 65°F (10 - 19° C) with strong breezes. A few overnight frosts have beat back the biting bugs. Our city recently permitted (leashed) dogs in most of the parks, so we've been exploring many of them.

These shots are from the Capitol Springs Dog Park (and Disc Golf Course). The tatters of Hurricane Delta had finally reached us up here in the Northcentral Midwest.

Silky ruffles of clouds define the edge of a front in a deep blue sky above a drying prairie.

Eight minutes later. Half the sky is now almost clear, the other half with silky ripples of low white clouds.

Twenty minutes later. Pale blue sky hosts low clouds to the horizon which combine fluffy and about-to-rain over a late-fall prairie with brown stalks. (The rain never hit us.)

Wow, that last one gives me shivers. Thank you.

Clouds are so fascinating, so beautiful and everchanging, I think they do not get enough attention. It’s like an abstract art show on a big blue screen all day.

I love those! They're both great shots.

Oh, from like a month ago, but I asked my co-worker, and she said Clouds Manual by Haynes Publishing was quite good for learning clouds.
