Explain This!!!!

A group of us are going into the board meeting last night.  I'm trailing behind because I'm old  and I'm gimpy which makes me slow.  Of course I'm looking around! ( Habit from living out so much growing up.)  I see this and manage to get this one clear picture.  (Naturally I  had a point and shoot in my purse.)

I see the contrails but what is this one.  It is definitely heavier than the clouds.  I didn't stay to watch it. I was already a tad late to the meeting.

Explanations please!

Snow Coming in!

     This was the view of the Sonomas from my front porch about noon.  We are promised more snow over the next few days.  A saving grace for the drought we've had here.    And a prayer for all of those back east who've had more snow and ice than they need!

Another One!

     These suckers are getting too close for comfort!  I don't know what it is or where it came from and again, I didn't see it.  The camera saw it, I didn't.  Just like the last one.  But there it is about a hundred feet out or so floating above the ground in front of that sagebrush!  I've some other pictures of these things.  Anybody else see anything like them?  Explanations???

     As an aside, I've taken pictures out here for years, with the camera I'm using as well as a variety of other cameras, never came up with these items until very recently!

My Daytime UFO

There is a longer piece on nevadasdesertlegends.com.  I've put this picture up for comments.  I'd like to know if anyone else saw this one.  As I said in the article on nevadasdesertlegends.com, i took these pictures November 3, 2013.  I look forward to hearing from people!

Blue Mountain and Clouds!

I think of Blue Mountain as the signpost to the Black Rock Desert.  Once you reach it on Jungo Road, you are on your way!  Helen, a good friend, took me out this week to take some pictures.  The clouds are beautiful, amazingly lovely, the mountain as well, the foreground?  It's something else.  It shows how little snow or rain we've gotten for the last several years and this year doesn't look so great either.  Even the Mormon Crickets will have to pack canteens this year!

The Sunset from a different vantage!

The windows caught the sun's reflection almost perfectly!

Frost Bow

These only happen when it's cold and it's foggy!  I dislike fog intensely.  It makes me ache and a hibernating bear would be better company.  Still, it's almost worth it when you get one of these.  Just  amazingly beautiful, and very, very cold!
