I don't normally post clouds to ID Arkansas, but these are a unique kind, worthy of an ID.

"He makes the Clouds His chariots, He rides on the wings of the Wind." (Psalm 104)

Mammatus: root word same as in mammal, mammary, and Maumelle, Arkansas. “Pouches or Breasts.” (Some French explorer or Meteorologist had been too long from the company of women and started seeing things in the clouds and hills!)
.
I ride a van as part of a pool to work, so it was with some consternation that I saw the morning sky putting on a Mammatus cloud show. (I couldn't stop to get out without loosing my ride.) But it is a little safer than taking pictures while driving. (See folio below)

Wow, fantastic pics of these clouds...I haven't seen a pic of mammatus since I last looked at the Audobon field guide to clouds. Very nice.
