You have snapped a picture of a Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud which look like breaking waves in the ocean. After wind blows up and over a barrier, like a mountain, the air continues flowing through the atmosphere in a pattern that looks like a wave.
These clouds form when there is a difference in the wind speed or direction between two wind currents in the atmosphere.


Sweet!!





Here's a few pic's of my Dahlia's which are now in flower... enjoy!

Thanks for the info...I love waves and clouds, so these Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds are perfect lol...definitely glad i captured this one and i'm gunna spend the next while just looking at pictures of these types of clouds. How did you know the name of em?

Thanks CJ and SSU! I love the flower pictures and I hope Gertie is all back to better. Hibiscus can kill dogs, cats and other pets so you have to watch it. For some reason they smell really edible to animals...

I like to take pics of clouds and after awhile i wanted to know more about them...clouds are amazing in their complexity and hues of color!

Yah, Hibiscus does smell like something you should eat... ever have hibiscus tea? It's a delicate taste and sweet, I can see why animals are attracted to it. Like a moth to the flame I'm afraid...the animals get their wings singed unfortunately.

...no, Im not quite an encyclopedia...yet. My dad taught me an important lesson when i was young. I had the habit like all children of saying "I don't know". he told me one day, "there's nothing wrong with not knowing something son. Just make sure you add the sentence "I'll find out" after it and you'll do okay in this world". tru dat Daddy...tru dat.

Gorgeous Dr!

 

[CrackerJax]

I mean you could take a picture of a pig crossing the road, and ppl would be like ahh ok...pig. Then simply add, "I took that in Hawaii", and instantly... OOOOO AAHHHH a HAWAIIN pig!! great pic!!

captured fast movement again, this time in the falling of coins.

 

[Sunnysideup]

Nice pics guys, I love them!

CJ take a look at this pic...This thing bit me and clung to me and made my arm swell up and it gave me a fever...Do you know what it is?

 

[CrackerJax]

That is an Io Moth caterpillar and yes it stings.... almost all things "showy" have an added protection system. Very few things can stand out and survive without a trick or in this case a sting up their sleeve...the predators know darn well not to hit this bugger...

Your caterpillar will turn into this.....

[Sunnysideup]

This won't kill me, will it? It left a welt on my arm! I didn't kill him though, he is still in my bush....That didn't sound right.

 

[CrackerJax]

No, it will calm down, no worse than a bee sting. It's about the poor things only defense...but as you found out, it's a good one.

Here's a sunset pic I just snapped...


out.

 

[Sunnysideup]

Nice sunset, mine looked similar...

Well, I am glad I didn't kill him then. It really shocked me how much this hurts. But, it is like you said it is his only defense mechanism. So he gets a pass and probably a meal from me...

Thanks Dr.CJ!!

 

[CrackerJax]

hardly a meal...that bugger wants some LEAF!!!

[CrackerJax]

Here's a pic of an errant Bromeliad which cropped up out of nowhere. It gets even more showy as the season progresses.
