Clouds

When I see clouds in the sky, a smile appears on my face. They are fascinating to me. Made up of tiny droplets of water or ice crystals, they form at different levels of the atmosphere. I love clouds because of the beauty of them and the shade they provide. 

Why are clouds formed? The amount of moisture in the air is how they why they are formed. So, if there is a high level of water vapor, clouds are formed. Clouds are also formed when the dew point is unable to hold more water. As we cannot see the air or dew point, we can feel when the humidity rises.

Clouds are also formed when the ground is warmer than the air. When these clouds are formed, they are cumulus clouds.

Clouds, the beauty in the sky where white goes up against a blue background. So, why are these the colors we see? If you have ever taken a photo of the sun, you will see that it gives off a white light. So, when the sun's light goes through the cloud, it makes it white. Remember that clouds are made up of water droplets or ice crystals. Have you seen the reaction to prisms when the sun its them? They change colors and scatter beauty. 

When I visited my favorite pond, I captured this photo. I love capturing the clouds reflected in the water. It shows beauty and peacefulness. It shows tranquility.
