Warm and cloudy

01/17/12, 9 pm, looking east

Tuesday was overcast most of the day with frequent light showers amounting to only a trace of rain. The high was 62 degrees F slightly lower than the forecast of 65. With uniformly overcast skies, there was little interesting cloud formations until after 5 pm when the clouds broke up into jutting cumulus forms that allowed vistas of a pale cerulean sky. Sorry that I was unable to paint at that time.


I was consoled by these little white puffs that rode the northeasterly winds at 9 pm. That's the way this year project has worked, serendipity. Look up and there they are, silhouetted against a gray sky, little white puffs of cumulus clouds looking like they are very busy and have someplace important to go.
