Clouds

Everyone knows that I love watching the sky. There is an endless display of beauty in the sky, especially when clouds roll in.

Summertime means watching for those huge thunderheads, and then dropping whatever I may be doing and rush out to capture that beauty.

The first three images were captured on July 3rd, near sunset. The setting sun was giving beautiful color to these storm clouds.

I am always amazed at the way the shapes change and evolve so rapidly.

While watching this storm, which was to the east of us, you could see the constant churning in the cloud.

The following four images were captured on July 5th. It was a hot Sunday afternoon  and there were storm warnings out. At one point in the afternoon ,I found out that there were tornado warnings about a half hour drive away.

I called a friend and it didn’t take long for us to be on our way, in hopes of spotting a tornado from a safe distance.

We never did see on, but the cloud formations were awesome.

What a massive thunderhead!

I was in awe as I watched this cloud build and grow upward. just something stunning to watch.

I tried my hand at creating a panorama shot. It does give a bit more of the view at once.

 This verse from the Bible came to my mind as I watched.

Nahum 1:3

The LORD is slow to anger but great in power;

the LORD will not leave the guilty unpunished.

His way is in the whirlwind and the storm,

and clouds are the dust of his feet.
