Drifting night cloud

As the solid overcast skies began to break up by nighttime, this big pink cloud drifted above headed northeast. These huge soft and silent cumulus clouds are so impressive in their size and glowing quality.


This was another June-like, hot and humid day in early May with brief thunderstorms and intermittent lightning. The whole of Central Virginia is scented warm honeysuckle and peony.
