CLOUDS

     Last evening and night we had thunderstorms roll through for about 8 hours. The storms went by about every hour. There was lots of thunder and lightning. The rolls of thunder seemed to go on for  minute. 

     Before the storms there were lots of clouds that built up in the evening. 

    I like to see cumulus clouds build up and have the sun light on them. I can imagine the tremendous updrafts in those cells. 

   So here's some of the clouds I enjoyed.

    3. Look at the last picture. Near the middle at the bottom. Not in the clouds but at the bottom of the picture. Do you see it?

  5. It's so nice to see (or read about) storms and moisture in the air. We're seeing none of that in the UK!

  7. I love beautiful big fluffy clouds like those. Now the thunderstorms I can do without...but I do appreciate the rain.

    1. From this distance they are beautiful but if you got near them there's lots of violent wind.

  11. I always look at clouds like that and remember being a child and thinking it completely possible that if I was that high, I could actually lie down in those clouds as if they were fluffy mattresses. 65, and I still remember believing that, and wishing that I could do it.

  12. Your photos remind me: I once worked for a client who lived on about the 16th floor, overlooking Sydney harbour and across the suburbs. I watched a storm roll right across the city through their windows. It was one very good reason to live in a high apartment
