Favorite Picture of the Week

 
Monsoon season is officially upon us in Las Vegas. Monsoon season is from June to September and anytime during those months we can have clouds, storms, flash floods and rain. This week we had a couple of days of clouds and a little rain. This sunset was so pretty. 

This cloud was so big and came by so fast bringing with it a short storm where we got some rain. 

The rest of the day we had clouds.

The sky at noon was so dark.

But the clouds gave us another nice sunset.

Friday it looked stormy but we only got a few sprinkles later that day. Some parts of the valley it poured though.

This was right over me but no rain. At least it blocked the sun for a while.

  1. It's nice to have pretty sunsets but even those dark clouds which threaten rain can be so atmospheric.

  2. Great color on those lit-from-below clouds in the first picture.

    Any rain must come as a relief in this part of the year.

  3. Being that dark in the daytime is weird isn't it. Of course up here we have so much cloud cover even in the hot summer that it's not unusual. I hope that lowered your temperature about 10°. That first photo is just magnificent.
