One little cloud





























The wind has been blowing hard all afternoon, but on my way from my mother's house to mine, there was this one, lovely little cloud, all alone.  It was turning pink as the sun was setting and I didn't know which was more dangerous:  snapping a picture through my windshield while driving on the freeway, or pulling off the road to get out and trust that no one would hit me.  As you might be able to tell, I chose the snap through the windshield.  For a while, the cloud looked like the front of the star ship Enterprise (yes, I'm an old Trekkie).   I haven't participated in SkyWatch Friday for a while and I wanted to be part of it again.

Oh Captain Kirk so handsome and now Denny Crane who needs to be loved. :) Yep, William Shatner fan.

What an unusual sight! It conjures up all sorts of intriguing ideas! I dunno which would have been the wiser, and I’m glad you were able to capture it safely while driving.

I’ve published on both blogs this morning – SkyWatch/Haiku Friday at Sacred Ruminations and another HF post (in which I ‘reflect’ upon my upcoming Blogoversary) at Small Reflections containing a ‘Fall Thank You’ for all … just because.
Hugs and blessings,

That little cloud looks remarkeably
like a Lenticular cloud that sometimes forms on top of a mountain. Is that possible?
It makes for a nice picture and a little different from the usual.

For a 'through the windshield shot' this is a perfect capture of your little cloud. Beautiful photo.

When Capt Piccard said "Engage.." did he mean to start the ship moving?...or to keep your eyes on the road while taking pictures? hahahhaha
Great photo! I've taken many photos driving down the roads as well. shesh.
