Saw this scary-looking sky as I drove westward yesterday on my way home from downtown Milwaukee. I wasn’t able to find another good, open spot to take another picture with my phone turned sideways to get a landscape orientation, for that might have better shown the incredible width of this cloud formation. At least you can get a sense of the scale and the height! Those upward sweeps nearest the ground spread outward left and right to form sort of a circular base for the entire mass of “bloom” resembling multiple smoke plumes.

The entire sky looked like a giant mushroom cloud to me. Very spooky!

I haven’t posted much in the past couple of months, and not much more than photos at that because I’m filling in as interim department chair at my university until June 30. Very, very busy! I feel so eager and impatient to get back to writing again this summer!
