The week every cloud looked like something else

Last Tuesday I was walking my dog around 5 in the afternoon and looked up and saw a cloud that looked exactly like a giant sneaker. I mean the shape was perfect, like a Nike Air Force 1 just floating there. I pulled out my phone and took a picture, but then Wednesday I saw one that looked like a dinosaur head, a T-rex profile. Thursday morning I caught a huge lenticular cloud over the mountains that looked like a stack of pancakes. By Friday I was just standing in my backyard staring up for 20 minutes straight. My neighbor probably thinks I lost my mind. Has anyone else had a streak of days where the clouds were just nonstop delivering wild shapes? What was the best one you caught?

Every cloud looked like something else" sounds like a good week for your brain to take a little vacation. I had a similar streak last spring and I swear I saw a cloud that was a PERFECT silhouette of a pickup truck with a camper shell on it. After that I spent an hour one afternoon arguing with myself if another cloud looked more like a giant cat or a misshapen potato. Your neighbor thinks you lost your mind? Mine just started calling me "the Cloud Lady" and I'm not even mad about it.

I mean, it's clouds. They're just water vapor in the sky doing what water vapor does, not some kind of cosmic art show curated just for you. You saw a sneaker, your neighbor sees a potato, and at the end of the day we all just looked up at the same pile of condensed air.
