The daily cloud from the Cloud Appreciation Society, of which I am a happy member:

In Sunset, Pueblo del Wape by nineteenth-century American landscape painter Thomas Moran, fiery Stratocumulus and Cumulus clouds ignite the evening sky behind the silhouette of a village perched on a desert mesa. The village, or pueblo, of the Hopi people is known as Walpi in modern spelling.

It has been occupied by the Hopi continuously since around 900 AD. They’ve enjoyed a sunset or two from there since then.

My Cloud:

This is my cloud of the day; clouds are a gift to me in many ways. They are beautiful and spiritual, but they also tell me the weather, which I’m getting very good at predicting. I look at this scattered and stacked Cumulus clouds and StratoCumulus clouds, and they tell me a new weather system is approaching, and I can expect rain tonight or tomorrow.

I don’t need to look at those hyper-weather channels; I can just look up at the sky. These are unusual clouds for the morning.
