I love looking at clouds, but don't have much knowledge of what they're called etc. Here's some I photographed in Wales last week, on a camping trip. Fairly unspectacular, but I liked them.

The top ones - the flying saucer ones - are Lenticulars and are very popular with glider pilots. They mark areas of very smooth rising air that can carry a glider as high as 30,000'.
