The Stratus Sphere

I do mean into the "Stratus"- sphere.  I had thought that the clouds in today's pictures were likely the stratus type of clouds on the horizon yesterday morning.  They were vast bands of whipping cream slathered across the sky. Or perhaps snow drifts.  It was like looking at the gills of a mushroom and seeing an ivory silk-pleated dress.   How many kinds of clouds can be in the sky at one time? It looked like Stratus and Altostratus all together.   But when I read this article with pictures, this is likely incorrect.  Because of the format of Mailchimp, the pictures are small.  If you look at the lower left above the 'w' in the first picture, there's a taller tree. That's the microwave tower at Brian's Lilycrest Garden hybridizing field.  I was at the Seventh Street exit of the QEW, looking across the wonderful orchards on Niagara.  And then they continued on their journey and flew away.
