Lenticular clouds

 Lenticular clouds (Altocumulus lenticularis) are stationary lens-shaped clouds that form in the troposphere, normally in perpendicular alignment to the wind direction. If the temperature at the crest of the wave drops to the dew point, moisture in the air may condense to form lenticular clouds. Due to their shape, they have been offered as an explanation for some Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) sightings.

When lenticular clouds hang over Mt Rainier we notice. You know we might see a UFO! But mostly... it means the weather is changing and rain is on it's way.

So every extra time out on the water now is a blessing. This week Jill's husband Crash (a former Penn oarsman), came out to meet the Verite in his new rowing shell. Perhaps inspiration for his shell was the result of reading "Boys on the Boat" which rekindled his crew instincts or maybe it was due to watching Jill have so much fun rowing on the Verite? Either way it what a lovely boat. And what wasn't to enjoy - the rains held off, a new gal - Karen rowed along, and Theresa brought pumpkin pie.

 

I mean, who said brown bagging it isn't fun?
