Mother Nature and Her Milk

Called "Mammatus Clouds," so named because they look like, well, you know - the bodacious tatas in the picture are actually the bottoms of cumulonimbus clouds, which is the indication of a severely unstable weather system. They are not all that common, kinda like a getting to second base on a ground-rule double in baseball, so they are worth documenting when the proverbial door knocker sounds. It is a firm, but perky reminder to us all that even the enemy of astronomers (clouds) can be worth coping a feel. -- Post From My iPhone!
