Check out that sky! The shadow of the tree looks as its ready to engulf the barn. Very nice capture Heather. #9973452

Thank you folks! We had amazing skies on January 10th and 11th. I found out that this is called a Mackerel Sky! The definition is -
n. Chiefly Northeastern U.S.
A sky covered with many small cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds, resembling the markings found on a mackerel. Also called buttermilk sky.

You can read about them more here as I found them quite interesting!
