cloudy skies


We had beautiful skies just before a bit of storm hit here in Virginia this evening. Tomorrow it will be 90 degrees and not 100. Lucky us!
 I got outside and took a few shots before the lightening started to fly then I ran for cover.
Enjoy!

    1. I think many people would agree and that's why I ran out with the camera.

    1. You are so right Jennifer, pre storm and just before sunset are two of my favorite times to take pictures of the sky. I've also had some really good luck with a few moon shots as well.

  7. Absolutely beautiful. First glimpse of the first one I saw a giant bird (the v-shape) going into the cloud. The second picture is beautiful. Something about that bright spot looks like I storm is cooking underneath.

  13. Upper 90s here, heading for 100+, so they say. Oh well, such is life in the Deep South. I wouldn't be anywhere else.

    P.S. Thanks for your comment on Kate's blog. She's probably embarrassed that her old mom posted about her. :)

  14. Your cloud photos are magnificent!!! I love to go outside right after a heavy rainfall--it feels so clean and fresh. I don't know if I would like the dramatic storms that you get though... I guess you get used to it, like we are used to our snow blizzards!! ha ha

    Cheers
