Cool clouds on a sunny day

The temperature warmed up yesterday to a balmy 45 degrees, though it's a little cooler today. I didn't go birding, but I did find some cool clouds:
A fine example of melting butter clouds. In this next photo, I'm hoping you can see that it kinda looked like a bunch of little scoops of clouds, little swirls. My phone's camera didn't do too good a job of capturing it, but try to use your imagination and click for huger:

On this same road today at lunchtime, I saw a pretty red female American Kestrel. I loves me some kestrels.

  4. Aren't kestrels the greatest? I love seeing them on the telephone poles. What beautiful clouds. A great midwestern sky.

    I think about you, too, when I see cool clouds! And I've developed a habit that annoys my family. When I see a hawk on a wire, for example, I point it out, but I'm usually too late for anyone else to see it.
