Mark,

I appreciate the link. There are some very  interesting cloud shots there. 
On page 4, there are some that resemble the ones that I saw yesterday.

As to the inclusion of tree tops, I was always told that lightly-colored 
scenes need something dark to anchor the picture and give a sense of scale. 
That is why I chose to include the trees. At my house, on a corner lot with 
power lines on two sides, it is difficult to avoid the lines, but I try.
