May the Clouds be with You

Meringue reminds me of clouds.

Wouldn’t a nice piece of lemon meringue pie be tasty right now?

Sometimes clouds remind me of cotton candy.

Clouds might play second fiddle to the ocean. Or maybe it’s vise versa.

Clouds have a way of perfecting sunsets.

Is it just me or are these weird?

What do you see in this cloud formation?

The word for when people see familiar shapes, faces, or objects in clouds (or other random patterns) is 
pareidolia (pronounced par-i-DOH-lee-a). It is a psychological phenomenon where the human brain, which is wired to recognize patterns for survival, imposes order on random visual data. 

One time Greg and I sat and watched a sunset completely do five different scenes for us. This is one of the scenes. I probably took a bazillion photos of these clouds, and this one is my favorite.

Morning clouds can be wild show-offs. Like these.
