Silver Lake, Minnesota, Postcard



Fresh outta the mailbox! Got another beauty from Cat & Rubber Chicken. Big thanks! :)

I wish I could say that that is a UFO in the sky, but no, it's a scuff mark from the USPS machinery.  Honestly, I don't mind. I like seeing the battle scars of travel, it makes me appreciate the card that much more.

Wide Open Oklahoma



Oklahoma has its share of nasty weather, but most days, it's beautiful and peaceful, like yesterday.








Loved these low hanging clouds!







Lazy wind turbines were not doing much turbining. :)

All in all, I had a great drive through Oklahoma!

Lenticular Clouds

First off, I LOVE clouds, all clouds, any kind of clouds!

This stunning postcard features not only a bright full moon, and majestic Mt. Rainier in Washington, but also, a great example of a smooth lenticular cloud.

They form at high altitude over mountains.

Living in the midwest part of the US, I don't routinely get to see mountains. But, whenever I travel to where there ARE mountains, I am thrilled!

A month ago, I was way, way beyond thrilled when I spotted this lenticular cloud formation over some mountains in Montana!

It looks like a tall stack of pancakes. If I hadn't already had breakfast, I would have gone straight to I.H.O.P to celebrate! :)

Spooky Cloud



Ok, so this might not look like much on this blog, but let me tell you, it was one bad ass cloud in person! Seriously!
