I must look them up on Google. I posted about ‘my’ cloud because Diane over at Crave Cute was talking about clouds, so there are a lot of coincidences occurring at the moment. I enjoyed sharing the pictures, thanks for taking the time to look at them. Enjoy your travels.

I am travelling again and as I was going to the airport , I was watching the planes coming into land when, I spotted a cloud that looked like a boomerang . I could not take a picture but I remember seeing a programme in television where they said that they were rare cloud formations . Your cloud looks like a fluffy feather duster. Thanks for sharing the lovely picture.<br />Shashi Nayagamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104875758016386977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-71564473221497581552014-06-23T14:28:21.172+01:002014-06-23T14:28:21.172+01:00Hi Tracy, you are most welcome.
