Surprised by Clouds

Maybe others have noticed this before, but it surprised me. The other day
around 2 pm I was videoing some material outside our home. The sky was quite
clear and sunny. Not a cloud anywhere, so I thought. I was using a b/w
camera whose output was hooked to a video card in my PC. I was a bit puzzled
by some reflections on the ground, and decided to change to a TV monitor.
The sky up to about 30 degrees altitude was visible in the shots, and I
noticed there were in fact small clouds in the sky up at the top of the
picture. I verified this with binoculars. It just goes to show you (me!)
that you can't always trust your eyes. Comments?
