Favorite Picture of the Week

 

Last Tuesday night we had such a downpour and lightning storm that my courtyard flooded. The rain came down so hard for a while and the wind was crazy. My daughter took a little video. 

The next day, Wednesday it was really cloudy and over cast but we only got a little rain that day.

It also rained on Thursday and we had these spectacular clouds giving us some shade from the sun.

  1. What a beautiful sight! This must be the only time I wish we could get a little of your weather up here.

  2. That was quite a storm. The cool air would have been welcome, but I am sure the humidity the next day was not.

  3. Hi, Mary!

    I enjoyed the video and pictures. Last night here in Florida, we got hit with a ferocious storm like the one you guys experienced. The lightning kept striking near the house, sending our black cat Boots running for the safety of the closet laundry basket. Now we have large puddles all over the property. I'm happy to know you got some temporary relief from the searing heat. Hopefully the heavy rain washed away some of Sin City's sin. :)

    Enjoy the rest of your week, dear friend Mary!

  5. I'd heard Vegas had some flooding. The "monsoons" of late summer always brought a freshness to the air (but made hiking canyons dangerous).

  6. Cloudy skies look ominous, but the result - rain- is life giving.

  8. Have you been having drought conditions? If so this was a bit of help. 💦

    I love storm clouds, too, they have their own unique beauty. Thanks for sharing your images. 🌫

  12. For Vegas, that is fabulous that you got three days of cloud cover and rain. That lightning storm was neat. Just had one tonight, but not as much lightning as you got.
