Clouds

It seems that we have been seeing more clouds recently than sunshine.

I do think clouds are beautiful,so today I want to share a few cloud images from the last week or so.

While coming home from last weeks family gathering,I had to pull over to get a shot of this scene.

That long cloud stretched almost from south to north,it was amazing.

The day before I headed out to the lake just at the west edge of town.

I saw that we might be in for a pretty sunset.

It was not spectacular as far as colour was concerned,but I liked how the sun spread its beams down past the clouds.

Later that same evening,as I was almost ready to call it a day,I got a text from my son,Steve.It said,Mom look east of your place.I knew that it must be good,so I grabbed my camera and dashed to the back yard.Looking slightly to the southeast,this greeted me.amazing!

I turned and looked to the northeast and I saw this spectacular sight.The sun was about to set,but as it did it illuminated the thunderclouds which were to the east.

The colours and the drama in the sky was amazing.

 Straight ahead of me were these clouds,constantly changing in form and colour.I took many pictures that day and each one is a keeper,but I didn't want to bore anyone,so I picked just a few.

The power in a storm like that is almost more than I can wrap my mind around.

We did have tornado warnings that day,and further east two tornados were seen.

Thought for today comes from the Bible:

"Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth,
who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains."
Psalm 147:8 (KJV)
