Rainbow
It is always a joy to see a rainbow, especially when it's complete. A reminder from God that he will never completely flood the world again - his promise following the account of Noah and the ark.
If you look very carefully, you can see a second, outer, rainbow forming. On this occasion nothing much happened with the second rainbow, or at least from where I was at the time. There hadn't been any rain locally but I guess there would have been a good shower nearby.

Circumzenithal arc
Look carefully in the middle - the rainbow-like Circumzenithal arc |
Generally the arc will look like a smile but you still have to look carefully: these are the only photographs I have of Circumzenithal arcs and believe me, they're not easy to photograph.

Cirrus Uncinus
Mid summer Cirrus Uncinus |
Taken today, 14th July in the middle of a very warm and sunny spell of weather. Also spotted today:
Yes, I know the photograph below is not of some clouds as such. It was taken in a woodland area on the top of a hill shrouded in low cloud. So it is, sort of, a picture of a cloud - a nice misty scene early in the morning while it was still quite cool. Gradually the sun warmed up and the low level cloud melted away, leading to the pictures above during the afternoon.

Two French rainbows
Both of these rainbows were photographed last week on a holiday trip to France. With the top rainbow, as seen from the car ferry, I don't think I have ever been so close to a rainbow! In being over the see, it sadly dispel the myth of a pot of gold always being at the end.
The second was from the Brittany region and, as is often the case, the formation applied just after a rainy afternoon..

Stratocumulus
This is probably my favourite cloud picture to date but I must confess it has had a little computer enhancement. Taken on the ever-changing sea front at Weston-Super-Mare you can see there's quite a lot going on in this photograph with the clouds evolving. Taken in the late afternoon one November, it was blustery as it often is on that stretch of coastline.
