Both sides now: Our readers show their photo skills with clouds
By Debbie Heathers-Stiteler, November 2017: She took the picture from her boat, the Freja, with an iPhone. “I was walking on the dock at Poulsbo Marina. A single leaf floated in Liberty Bay. What was most remarkable was the reflection of the clouds overhead.”
By Sarith Chim, February 2017: “Cupid shot an arrow to the sky and this is the result,” the photographer wrote of this shot, which was titled, “Sunrise at Edmonds on Valentine’s Day.”
By Rick Collar, 2016: “While in Langley on Whidbey Island … I saw this clouds formation. I sent the picture in to KOMO to find out what they were. I received an email back saying they were ‘mammatus clouds.’ ”
By Stephen J. Monchak, June 2017: Whitehorse Mountain and Darrington, Washington. Monchak said he took the spectacular photo with a Mavic Pro drone at 380 feet.
By Andy Ide, February 2017: An early morning shot of the Everett boat launch.

They’re just ice crystals floating in the sky, but from the ground the variations seem endless.

Clouds are a popular subject for our reader-photographers. These examples are among the best submitted to our website in the last two years. Presented here in the fond hope we all see fewer of them, at least during the summer.

Also popular: pets, eagles, lighthouses, landscapes and, of course, the spring profusion of tulip fields.

You will get a chance to see a bit of all those and more, in the coming weeks, as we put together an occasional ‘best of” offering of readers’ photos.

If you can’t wait, you can find more reader photos (or submit them yourself) at Heraldnet.com/Life. Look for the “Reader Photos” link.
