dreams of spring 

                                                    - by Steven D. Brewer, Senokulvitre

This extraordinary dawn over UMass Amherst - crowned with full-sky pink altocumulus clouds - was captured by Steven D. Brewer. This is the featured photo for April in our 2025 Head in the Clouds Amherst wall calendar. Steven also penned this most apropos haiku for his photo - in Esperanto, with the English translation. To experience more haiku in Esperanto, search online for Steven's book, Senokulvitre.

While Altocumulus clouds are always a favorite among cloudspotters, they can become downright glorious at sunrise and sunset, especially when illuminated from underneath by a low-hanging sun. Pink altocumulus clouds at sunset or sunrise occur because of the way light interacts with these mid-level clouds and the atmosphere.

April (Snow) Showers

Good morning, April! If you were hoping for photos of daffodils and crocuses, have patience. That bush on the left bedecked with snow will be resplendent with lilacs in just a month. (And as for the crocuses and daffodils, they are there too, just under the snow.)

One of those March days...

                                                        - Charles Dickens, 𝐺𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠

Before the flowers and (mostly) after the snow, early spring in the Valley can be challenging to capture. Luckily for us, James (Jim) Patten saw the potential in this starkly beautiful scene, which is the featured photo for March in the 2025 Head in the Clouds Amherst wall calendar. Remembering that day, Jim commented, “Walking to the Red Barn with my manager for a celebration…. It was Cold, Crisp and Sunny.” In other words, it was a lot like today outside.

Beyond the field in the foreground is the Wedding Tree on the Hampshire College campus, with the Holyoke Range in the distance. And above it all, white puffy cumulus clouds. Observant cloudspotters will also notice less common lenticular clouds (stacked spirals) to the far left of the photo.

Lenticular clouds, which have been mistaken for flying saucers, are usually caused by a moist airstream flowing over raised ground, such as a hill or mountain peak. When the airstream contains layers of moist air separated by drier air, a stacked formation can appear, as seen here.

Spring may be in the air at the moment, but March can also whip us back into deep winter – after all, the “Blizzard of 1888” (one for the record-books in Amherst and most of New England), struck on March 11. It snowed for two nights and a day, leaving snowdrifts as high as 50 feet deep! 

The far side of Puffer's

A skin of ice on Puffer’s Pond, dark water below, steely grey clouds above, and no one anywhere in sight – this striking image, which could have been taken today, is the featured photo for February in our 2025 Head in the Clouds Amherst wall calendar. Josh Wolfsun recalls the afternoon he captured this scene: “As I made my way to the far side of Puffer’s, I snapped this last photo and put the camera away to spare my freezing fingers - and to enjoy the echoing quiet that surrounded the frozen water.”

- Ryōkan (Zen Buddhist monk, 1758 –1831)

After October's profusion of foliage colors, November in Western Massachusetts can sometimes feel drab and barren. But photographer Jennifer Murphy captured all the beauty of this month in this stunning sunrise image, taken at the Silvio O. Conte National Fish & Wildlife Refuge in Hadley. Reflecting on the scene, Jennifer comments, "I am thankful for our valley's preserved lands, where I can enjoy a sunrise like this one."

This stunning image by Mark Lindhult is our featured photo for October in the 2024 Head in the Clouds Amherst wall calendar.

Shifting to Fall

Photo by Annette Fortier, Turtle Hill Photography
Ames Pond, Kestrel Land Trust Nature Retreat, Shutesbury MA

Did the arrival of fall also take you by surprise this year? Somewhere around mid-August, even before cool air arrived in any discernible way, something shifted, almost imperceptibly at first. It happens every year. 

I suspect it’s the slant of the sun combined with the arrival of those first few cooler nights. Even in years when the heat lingers, by the time September arrives, the season’s transition is undeniable. September is when the trees begin to change color, confirming what we already know – winter is coming. 

This featured September photo in the 2024 Head in the Cloud Amherst wall calendar is quintessential New England in late September. Photographer Annette Fortier (Turtle Hill Photography) captured this scene while exploring Ames Pond, a Kestrel Land Trust Nature Retreat in Shutesbury. She recalls, “I was struck by the wild beauty, peace and spirit of the place. I couldn’t resist trying to capture the essence of it.”

Autumn in New England is unparalleled. Here’s hoping you have many opportunities to pause and savor the moments.
