When we would drive to the train each morning ( I worked in downtown Chicago for 31 years) I would see the clouds pile up like mountains over Lake Michigan. The train station was just 2 blocks from the lake so I always had a birds eye view but never the time to get a shot as there was that pesky train to catch. I vowed to my husband that when we retired I would get a shot of Lake Michigan's early morning "mountains". This is that shot at about 7:30 AM from my 6th floor balcony looking northeast towards Lake Michigan. I even got a lens flare due to the angle of light - couldn't repeat that if I tried! You see these early morning but not later - I've wondered why for years.

Clouds sometimes remind me of mountains too Kathy. Glad you now have time to stop and smell the roses, plus time to shoot the clouds and anything else you so desire.
Excellent entry for the contest should you choose to use it.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

This is a lovely shot of the sky with those cotton wool clouds in a nice clear blue sky. Good one Kathy.

Clouds are so fascinating in their density and ever-evolving shapes...some interesting shapes here and nicely captured.

Worked 31 years in downtown Chicago eh. I am sure you must be intimately acquainted with "The hawk" Especially while walking down Michigan Ave in the winter, and walk between alleyways between the buildings making the wind chill something that would cause Penguins shiver. LOL!

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
