Ever heard of a "lenticular" cloud. Well, it has its basis in Latin and comes from its lens-shaped appearance. What it really means is that the wind is blowing like hell at altitude. We see them all the time in the desert. The wind slams up against the mountains, coming in from the coast and voila, at altitude you get one of these babies. This is a classic lenticular formation. Kind of a neat word. Say it a few times and you'll like it..... go ahead. Lenticular, lenticular, lenticular. Pretty fun huh? In any case, I snapped this one just before sunrise today and they are as much fun to watch as they are to pronounce. They are just dynamite to watch. They change by the moment but never move. Really amazing.
