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!

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

    Hehe, I'm still chicken of lightening - so I know what you mean about running for cover. Bless your heart. Jen, your photos of the clouds are magnificent!!! I pray the storm passes over quickly without any damage. Stay safe. GOD BLESS!

    The forces of nature can be beautiful and scary. Glad you kept safe.

    Jen,
    I love the second photo...the contrast between the grayish blue and white is tremendous!
    You did a beautiful job!

    So cool. I love the sky right before a storm. Good thing you got inside before the lightening and rain came down!

      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.

    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.

    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. :)

    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

    Beautiful clouds! Can't wait for that warm weather. It has been in the 40's and low 50's here :-(
