Clouds and flyover country

Living in a place with open skies really gives me a lot of opportunities to observe planes flying over. Being out in the middle of no where, this is flyover country. Not sure where they are going, probably to another state far away. Or maybe to another country, I am sure they cannot see me.. probably cannot even see my house. But I can see their plane way up there along with the streaks left behind.

It was getting cold, that time of year the pond started to freeze over. I think it made the jet streaks last longer due to the extreme cold up in the atmosphere.

The clouds as well remind me of cold days, with their pattern high up makes me think of turbulent wind.

Some of the jet planes streak across the entire horizon.

A few all look so close together yet they are many miles apart on their own flight path.

Sometimes I can see them through the clouds, when thin enough.

I wonder what made that one change direction, or it appears to me that it did. A bird was caught in the image as well flying away from the juniper tree it was resting on.

They look like lances going up in to the sky, probably flying directly overhead at the time.

The wispy clouds are nice to see, their pattern appearing like ripples in the sky.

Some are more thick but still has that ripple pattern.

Over time the sky clears up, or sometimes gets so dense we no longer see these patterns.

Being the middle of winter at the time of these photos, the tree behind has no leaves and is just bare. Those ripples remind me of cold days, so it matches up to the dormant tree we see in the background.
