So just now I went out for a walk and when I looked at the sky, there was a magnificent cloud, cirrus uncinus and cirrus spissatus :) I was like really happy and took a few pictures of it. That's all I guess, so long xx

Cirrus :)

This is  a cirrus uncinus and cirrus spissatus. Cirrus uncinus is a type of cirrus cloud that means “curly hooks”. It’s very thin and usually means that rain is coming!!!!

This picture also contains Cirrus spissatus which means “thickened”. It’s used to describe a species of cirrus cloud which is not in thin lines, looks sort of furry and doesn’t have curly hooks.

Cumulonimbus and beyond

Clouds look different depending on the way they are formed. Cumulonimbus clouds are good examples of how changes in elevation can form clouds. They form in the lower part of the troposphere, the atmospheric layer closest to the Earth. Cumulonimbus clouds are a type of cumulus cloud aligned with thunderstorms and heavy rain. They form below 20,000 ft. and are fairly close to the ground. This is why they hold so much moisture. Cumulonimbus clouds are also known as thunderheads for their rare mushroom-like shape.

This is an example of cumulonimbus cloud that has different images in it. When I looked at the picture I immediately saw a duck in the middle of the cloud! Can you see it? Then look on the left side of the picture and you can see a Kipling monkey right there. Amazing huh? It's not easy to see that particular type of cloud.

Mt. Shasta is a favorite place for photographers to capture a lenticular cloud hovering above the mountaintop.  Sometimes, people are lucky enough to snap a shot as beautiful as this one.

This is a lenticular cloud that also looks like a space ship from outer space.  You can possibly see this type of cloud over a snowy mountain because this is where the atmospheric temperature differences often cause this formation.

These clouds sometimes look like UFOs. A lenticular cloud is formed when moist air from lower altitudes is deflected off the ground and rises up into the atmosphere where it is cooler. This picture is very cool because this type of cloud is usually seen hovering above mountaintops.  Here though, the lenticular clouds are seen forming over the sea.  

Clouds are very important. They are part of life. Clouds give us rain and help plants to grow. There are many types of clouds that exist in this world. From a beautiful painted sunset to a threatening storm, clouds shape our sky and make it more interesting.  Have you ever looked up into the sky on a lazy afternoon and found a cool image in the clouds?  That's a good imagination! Lol. Clouds can tell us about incoming weather
or what has happened in the near past. The reason I'm creating this blog is because I want people out there to know about clouds. So that when you see one, you'll know what type of cloud it is. I'm sharing knowledge and amazing photographs. Enjoy and please like my page. Thank you :) <3
