Cloud chasing again...

Roger asked me if I wanted to go for a drive...of course I said yes.
It had been overcast part of the day and bright and sunny part of the day, so thought we might get some interesting skies before the day was done.
So we headed south, to a place called Merom Bluffs. I was hoping with the air being clear that I might get some photos I liked.
Merom Bluffs is approximately 20 miles south of Terre Haute and are high above the Wabash River. These photos below does not really do it justice, but I got to concentrating on the clouds so much I forgot the original intent of going there.

I am not how far we can actually see from up there, but I am sure it is miles. Probably 5-10 miles at the least. And you look down on the Wabash...thinking about how it was a major route of travel for pioneers.
Then on the way home, I photographed these clouds as we were heading north. I thought sure we were going to get a major storm but it cleared up without anything but a few big drops of rain.

Can you see it?

Another Sky Watch Friday has come and gone now...I saw so many awesome photos that my head is spinning. I almost got everyone visited...but not quite. I am thankful to Tom for hosting it. And I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as me.

Now to today's post....these are a couple pictures from my slides. I am not sure if it was me that did not have them in sharp focus, or if it is so late I am doing something wrong in scanning them in. They aren't horrible but they could definitely be a bit better. I am not sure what moth this is, I have not had time to look it up. If you know what it is, please feel free to post the answer.

Please click photos to enlarge.
I think nature's camouflage is so awesome...you almost have to do a double take to see the image the moth in the picture above. One of the girls put it on their leg so I could get a better photo of it. These were taken in 1995
