The whispiness makes me want to call them cirrus. Click on the picture to ennebulate*.I think these would be classified as a kind of cirrus cloud, but I'm not sure. There are so many variations on the basic cloud types and they can be difficult to differentiate. And I'm not a meteorologist so I've never studied them in any detail.
No matter. They're still fun to look at.
*With apologies to Phil Plait at Bad Astronomy. He frequently makes up a word that relates to the image that he uses in place of the old and boring "enlarge."
Works for me! I make up words all the time. If I didn't, my blog would be only pictures.

p.s. I love that Big Sky.
Ennebulate! Thanks! I'm adding it to my repertoire for today!!!
ReplyDeletemark, I'm always impressed by the feeling of "big sky" here, too.
