SkyWatch/PhotoHunt : Cloud

SkyWatch is found here.

PhotoHunt is at TnChick's place.
Stop by at the Sky Watch blog to see who else has posted delightful photos including the sky today. Visit TnChick on Saturday to see the clouds. These two themes just magically come together this week as I have seen lots of wonderful skies while traveling.

Living along the Ring of Fire, there is always talk of the potential for an eruption, but as we drove along east of the Sierras last week, I got a kick out of this small cloud providing its imitation of a threatening volcano.
So I asked my Hubby if that was Mt. Whitney. I'd been looking for Mt. Whitney. Those darn California mountains! Here in Washington you can see your big mountains--they stand out among the shorter ones. Mt. Whitney--only 85 feet taller than Mt. Rainier--is hard to identify because there are lots of others which are not all that much shorter surrounding it.

I think it's one of these.

But I'm not sure if I got the right picture. Mt. Whitney is the highest point in the continental United States--the "Lower 48."

    Eeny Meeny Miney Moe, huh? Sometimes a geo-locator tuned to the mountain frequency would come in so handy, wouldn't it?

    Happy SWF, how exciting to live near a volcano as long as it doesnt erupt. Happy SWF.

    Wow, it does look like smoke coming out - had you not told otherwise, I would have believed it to be. BTW, those sheep are really cows =)

    The little puff of cloud does seem to be giving off a smoke signal! Gorgeous scenery!!
