Cloud Appreciation Society

This is one of my all-time favorite websites. My husband bought me a membership after we read The Cloud Spotter’s Guide by Gavin Pretoria-Pinney. 
​https://www.amazon.com/Cloudspotters-Guide-Science-History-Culture-ebook/dp/B000QUEHLW/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1538058456&sr=1-1&keywords=the+cloudspotters+guide

Every day, I receive a “Cloud of the Day” email. Some days, it features a wonderful photograph contributed by a member who is credited by name and also membership number.  Other days it might be a reproduction of a painting like the one below by my hero, John Constable. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C9BKJA_enUS784US784&hl=en-US&biw=1024&bih=1257&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=svSsW6bPO4S6zwK5rpGQCw&ins=false&q=john+constable+cloud+paintings&oq=john+constable+cloud+paintings&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-img.3..0.12602.14400..14967...0.0..0.114.521.5j1......0....1.........35i304i39j0i13j0i7i30.tuRaTUurKtM
The post includes information about the cloud, and often a quote from literature with a cloud theme.

​I recently sent in a new cloud painting for the art section of the website and learned that  I’m member # 41736! 😉
