Finally we had some clouds. These were convective clouds that
seemed to soar upward over Michigan. When the thermal moved over the cooler
waters of Lake Huron they fizzled. The process of decay happened before our
eyes in the matter of tens of minutes. I locked my sketch in at the very peak
of cloud intensity. The one area of cloud actually looked like it could produce
an anvil and then it all fell apart into cirrocumulus. By the time I was
finished (37 minutes) the cloud area had almost dissolved into oblivion and was
well to the northeast of Southampton. It was a good exercise in trying to catch
a cloud – plus it was fun! Medium
