Weird Rainy Sky, With UFO


It rained today.  That means heavy cloud cover -- and that, of course, means Cloud Creatures were out in force.  I guess the conditions that promote the formation of clouds, also attracts them.  Either that, or there is something in clouds they want.  Anyway, I was rewarded with a few really interesting images of CCs in action.  Take a gander at this one -- it's almost apocalyptically dramatic, yet beautiful:

Maybe I should have prefaced that one with an "Adults Only" warning^^.  And while shooting this next, "*Jawa with a gun"-looking individual...

*The dwarfish, junk-dealing desert inhabitants of planet Tatooine from the original Stars Wars movie

...I noticed a tiny speck floating there among the clouds, which turned out to be an extremely gonzo object -- a novelty balloon, perhaps (of the color of a scab?)...  Anyhow, below are the three best of the several shots I took of the thing before it was lost to sight.  Each full image is followed by a detail.








And finally, I noticed this spooky-looking face, seemingly staring at me--



I hope it was just curious.
