Winter Skies, Sunrises & Sunsets

     Here's a few photos I've taken around the farmstead in winter - great cloud formations and incredible sunrises.

     These clouds are called Cirrocumulus clouds, high altitude white clouds made up of ice crystals.  They indicate that weather is ahead.  See - http://www.ehow.com/how_2131426_read-clouds-forecast-weather.html

Below: lots of snow - the garden arch is near buried in snow.

Below: perfect snowfall on spruce trees behind the barn/pastures.

Below: a storm looms to the northwest.

Below: after an early April ice storm.

Below: early January, southeasterly sunrise.

Looks like a fire, but it's just the sunrise shooting into the sky.
