Thunderstorms were forecast, so I watched the cloud cover during the day. At noon I noticed pileus stacks above the peaks of the rising cloud in the northwest, with several reeds above the top on the left in particular. Great summer opening!

  Pileus stack
  
  The pileus cloud typically occurs at the top of a thundercloud, forming a hat-like leaf above the main cloud. If at least three reeds are visible, the object can be considered a pileus stack.
  
  In situations where the top of the main cloud passes through the reeds, it is more like a velum cloud (veil cloud).
