Clowning up

Traveling home from work in New Orleans tonight, I saw a particularly interesting cloud structure full of filaments. This isn't it.

I put my camera out the window, pointed up and snapped. Didn't point right. I got this instead.

I felt it had potential and brought it back to put some pixel dust on it. Double click on it and look at the cloud on the left. Do you see the fool with the clown hat on with the bell on the end of it hanging down in front of his face?

Perhaps nature was laughing at me. Perhaps? Perhaps?

pixel dust....I like that, I wonder if it is a bit like pixie dust??

my first name is mary....following two women named marie sounds as if perhaps there is some pixie dust floating around.
