And when you see them, this meteorological name makes a whole lot of sense. They billow downwards in a pattern of distinctive lumpiness that peg them as fascinating subjects to photograph. Keep tuned in to weather reports for thunderstorms, because these puffy clouds usually indicate intense storms to come and you might find a rare opportunity to capture them.</em></p> <p><span>Photos from<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25972391@N05/" target="_blank">Stormlover87</a><span>,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonwisniewski/" target="_blank">Jon Wisniewski</a><span>,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/grahameh/" target="_blank">finepixtrix</a><span>,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rodtas/" target="_blank">Rodtas</a><span>, and<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lebanese_nature/" target="_blank">Alexander Photography</a><span>.</span></p> </blockquote>http://shinyobsessed.tumblr.com/post/53316384932http://shinyobsessed.tumblr.com/post/53316384932Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:01:13 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7ce39a1b3d7f05415f8d21d6f2fe141c/tumblr_min2e5YWB91qd5adqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>Mt.
