Weekend Sky 
Photos of blue skies, with criss-cross big X white streaks from passing airplanes (or chemical trails?)
The first photo also has the bright sun, and the second one has a few whispy high clouds. These were from 2019 taken with my phone camera.

Silver & Shine – Weekend Sky # 98

Silver mackerel clouds tinted with pink are above trees silhouetted in black. We call these cloud formations ‘mackerel’, but other countries call them something else. In France they are called ‘fleecy’, in Spain they are called ‘cobbled’, and in Germany they are called ‘sheep’.
Oh, this reminds me of when I got into trouble at school in 2nd grade. I drew a picture of the sky and lots of fluffy clouds that really looked like sheep. The teacher told me off saying there was no such thing as sheep clouds. I knew she was wrong! haha 🙂
From a Wiki article:
A mackerel sky is a common term for clouds made up of rows of cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds displaying an undulating, rippling pattern similar in appearance to fish scales;[1][2] this is caused by high altitude atmospheric waves.[3]

Weekend Sky # 95 – Thunderheads
https://hammadrais.wordpress.com/2023/04/08/weekend-sky-95-april-8th/#respond

This was several years ago looking out from our front yard. It’s a huge white and dark gray cloud I believe they call a thunderhead. Usually there are storms below. These were a few miles from us though, but it makes a pretty picture with the dark blue sky behind it.
They are actually called Cumulonimbus. They tower very tall, and are capable of producing super cells with tornadoes, large hail, and severe winds.
We have these mostly in the spring around May.

Sun Dog – Weekend Sky # 93

I did take this photo a long time ago. Can’t remember exactly when, but I posted it before in 2017. I like aiming my phone camera up at the sun. I can’t see what I get until I look, as the sun is too bright to stare at.
This one turned out really pretty!
A sun dog is formed from ice crystals in the atmosphere, appearing as either a bright or muted light to the side/sides of the sun. Here’s the wikipedia information on the topic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_dog

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

Weekend Sky # 89 – Yesterday’s Dust Storm Photos 2/26/23
https://hammadrais.wordpress.com/2023/02/25/weekend-sky-89-feb-25th/
***
Sunday – 5:38 to 5:51 p.m.
Here are some of my photos: These are exactly as I took them, no filters or touch ups at all. As usual the dirt was so thick we couldn’t see across the lake to the houses or the road. If there were cars driving, we sure couldn’t see them. It gets dangerous!
These are some photos people tweeted about our dust storm yesterday. We had hurricane force winds of 77 miles per hour, (123.9 km/h) with blowing dust all day. We’ll have more today but not quite as bad.
I did see a poor Canada Goose trying to fly – it was trying to go straight, but the wind was blowing it sideways. I’ve seen birds before trying to fly in our wind storms. It looks like they are stuck in one spot while flapping their wings because the wind is so strong it won’t let them go forward.
