I hadn't planned on taking pictures today (I've been way too involved in other projects at the moment), but when an interesting (and slightly menacing) cloud forms over your house, you just have to stop what you're doing and take a few. So I snapped about 100 pictures of this cloud while it moved over the area.

Oh, and here's a video of nearly 30 pictures taken later and animated. It's much quicker than it was in reality, of course, but it's kind of interesting. Note: you may have to download it to your computer in order to play it (for reasons unknown to me I've had problems getting my browser play it properly).

Those huge cumulus clouds are so interesting to watch this time of year. They look so dense - like you could almost lay on it without falling. Cool video too - looks like the cloud is boiling.
Nice photo Tim, I especially like the range of colors you captured. I thought of capturing the exact same thing yesterday but decided to be lazy. I'm glad somebody took the opportunity

I agree - nice framing!
