The Cloud Appreciation Society is an amazing organization that combines science, art, and sky watching for its 60,000+ members. My dear friend, Ann Lacy, gifted me with a subscription to their “Cloud-a-Day” service some years ago. That gift has certainly increased my own viewing and photographing of the cloud-enhanced skies. (Some recent images of Midwestern clouds–taken from my front porch–are shared above and below–but that is not the thrilling part.)

Last week, I took a photograph of clouds over the treeline near Spring Wind Farm–our new CSA–in Waterford Township, just north of Northfield. Today, I sent the photograph to the Cloud Appreciation Society, along with my somewhat fanciful reading of the “story” line. They just let me know that they have posted the image and words, along with a few hints of the underlying cloud science, on their Photo Gallery Wall!

I invite you to take a look–not just at my image but at all the amazing resources they offer.

Sincerely,

Leslie (aka Cloud Appreciation Society Member 51,234)
