Like many other locales in the eastern United States, the Shenandoah Valley has been experiencing some marvelous, unseasonably warm weather. After morning fogs burn off, clear blue skies have dominated most days.
Imagine my surprise when I stepped outside one recent afternoon to enjoy the amazing weather. What appeared to be an army of wispy cirrus clouds hung in the eastern sky. Cirrus clouds are ice crystals that form above 20,000 feet in the atmosphere. They often appear bright white and in unusual formations, sometimes resembling human hair or feathers.
I thought their bright white against the deep blue sky created an inspiring scene. “Cirrus Clouds” is my Photo of the Week.

Very pretty … I’d be getting my camera out too. I love watching the clouds and taking note of the sky throughout the day. Clouds can make a landscape photo all the more interesting. Yesterday I saw a sundog!

I’ve always been in love with clouds. We had sundogs recently, too.

Hallo Mr. Stambaugh, I have written a short kind of fairy story, where I plan to illustrate with my collection of clouds. Whether it will ever be published as a booklet is not certain. I found your picture Roadkill Crossing and a portion of the sky would compliment nicely. May I use it? I look forward to hearing. Sincerely, Derek Watling
