We don't get a lot of cloud cover this time of year usually so when it does happen I'm happy about it. It helps on the hot days.
A few clouds during the day can help when the sun is beating down on you.
On Monday there were a few clouds at sunset.
But on Tuesday there were so many more big clouds at sunset. The wind was blowing and I saw lightning off in the distance. Of course we didn't get any rain but when I walked Falcor at 8PM it was only 90F/32C which was nicer than it had been during the day. It was a lot hotter that day.
At least we still get a few cloudy days and nights. I'll take it. I'm not a sunshiny day type person, can you tell? lol All those bright blue skies and sunshine all day is just not for me. I will take a cloudy, dreary, overcast day anytime over those bright sunshine days. I know I'm the complete opposite of most people. That's ok. I never proclaimed to be normal.
I can't stand the glare either. Much happier with cloudy days like in your pictures.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear I'm not the only one.
DeleteI think you live in the wrong part of the country! Need to live somewhere like Washington or Oregon.
ReplyDeleteI know! lol
DeleteYou are not alone. I like those soft grey days too - and loathe excessive heat.
ReplyDeleteYou and I both.
DeleteI'm not into glare either.
ReplyDeleteThe scenes look good, Mary.
Thank you so much.
DeleteI can understand getting tired of the hot sun with no cloud cover and no rain. But up here we only get an average of 100 days per year of any kind of sunshine. That's not very much let me tell you. But it has been Sunny for four whole days this week. I did send my address so I hope you got the email. Thanks again
ReplyDeleteI did get the email and replied to it. I'll send the package out in the next week. Thanks.
DeleteMoody blues.
ReplyDeleteYes and I love that Band as well.
DeleteYou truly appreciate the many nuances of clouds!
ReplyDeleteI do.
DeleteWith the temps you get, I would take cloud cover too.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely.
DeleteOur sky has been cloudless but smoky lately. The sun was that odd orange form the firer last night.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've been hearing about the fires.
DeleteLove these. :D
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWe got clouds yesterday, too. And thunder. And... rain? We had a surprise downpour. (At least, it was a surprise to me.)
ReplyDeleteWe had some rain last night. That was a surprise.
DeleteWe are cloudless, like AC said, but smoky. Just awful.
ReplyDeleteThat's terrible.
DeleteBet you are praying for rain on a daily basis, I know I do when the summer hits us hard. Everything is already semiscorched even though we have only had a few days now above 30C. I am just waiting for the mosquitos to appear. They haven't sprayed them yet in my city.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if they sprayed for them here but they don't. Yes, rain would be nice but the only problem is that would make it hot and humid and humidity and heat are awful together.
DeleteCloud cover can definitely be a relief when the days are so warm.
ReplyDeleteYes it does help.
DeleteAh, too bad you didn't get rain from those big gray ones. LOL, I'm another cloudy day fan! That's because I don't like the heat.
ReplyDeleteYeah rain would have been nice.
DeleteThe skies in my area have been cloud-filled today.
ReplyDeleteI like it like that.
DeleteNice skies and photos. I wouldn't survive the heat, it would do me in. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. The heat definitely takes some getting used to.
DeleteA very nice collection of photographs.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you.
DeleteI'm quite okay with cloud cover too! You do have pretty clouds out that way.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI can't imagine Vegas heat in the summer 🥵
ReplyDeleteThe heat is a bit crazy this time of year.
DeleteIt only got to 70 here.
ReplyDeleteThat would be nice.
DeleteGorgeous sky photos ~ thanks,
ReplyDeleteWishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

Thank you.
DeleteI love moody clouds, too! I don't always need sunshine.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear I'm not the only one.
DeleteI love that last shot. I bet it's great when it cools off there.
ReplyDeleteEspecially when it's been really hot.
DeleteI'm like you. I love gray, cooler days. Add in some rain and I am in heaven. I told my husband I'd love to move to Ireland since they seem to get so much rain.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, and all that green grass too. That would be nice.
DeleteI like a blue sky, cos it is cold here, lol
ReplyDeleteIt's hot as Hades here.
