This picture was taken at 2PM one day this week. Some sun was trying to poke out between the cloud above and it made the clouds look blue for a moment, but there were so many dark clouds. Not a drop of rain though.
Just a few minutes later on the way home.
Same time just looking towards the North.
Later that night as the sun was getting ready to set, the wind picked up and was blowing around 40 mph for a while. Gusts were higher. The clouds were moving by fast.
The next day we still had clouds and some wind.
And then that night as the sun was setting there was just this one big cloud close to me, so I took a picture of it. Most of the clouds cleared out with the winds.
Those dark clouds look ominous, they look like storm clouds so it's a surprise that it didn't rain.
ReplyDeleteWe get a lot of clouds and little rain.
DeleteIt is the same with my part of the country, it will get all dark like all hell is about to get lose and then not a drop drops upon us poor thirsty souls. We are turning into Nevada, we have not had rain in two months now.
ReplyDeleteIt's so weird. Monsoon season is coming so maybe we'll get some rain in a couple of months.
DeleteIt's amazing that you have such dense, dark clouds, but no rain.
ReplyDeleteOur weather is so weird.
DeleteForty mph is some serious wind. Around here, that would be accompanied by a thunderstorm and concern for tornadoes.
ReplyDeleteHere it's just another day. lol
DeleteEerie black Skies one day and then fabulous blue the next! How are black Skies yesterday did bring us lots of rain. There's places that need it far worse than us right now.
ReplyDeleteOh definitely.
DeleteIt's funny because I think of your town as so dry, but it always seems that you have lots of rain clouds.
ReplyDeleteWe are very dry. We get the clouds and no rain.
Deletethose are very moody skies! We have rain today.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed your rain.
DeleteRaining here today. The first few cloud pictures were so moody, especially the one taken at 2pm. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your rain.
DeleteIt's just hazy cloudy here today with no definition. Apparently, I missed a glorious sunset yesterday.
ReplyDeleteIt happens. Maybe you'll catch the next one.
DeleteDefinitely an ominous sky! Strange that there was no rain. A sky like that in Florida means only one thing. MONSOON! Haha.
ReplyDeleteOur monsoon season starts in July.
DeleteYou get some good skies over there.
ReplyDeleteWe do.
DeleteI love those unique blue clouds. Bummer you got no rain from them.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Rain makes people drive crazy anyway so maybe it's a good thing we didn't.
DeleteYep, those look like rain clouds. Very surprised you didn't get any rain.
ReplyDeleteThat happens all the time.
DeleteYes, those clouds don't look all that happy!
ReplyDeleteI know. I was hoping for rain.
DeleteStunning photos Mary, I love sky photos :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteIt never ceases to amaze me how clouds look, and you've shared some very good examples.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you so much.
DeleteCloudy all day here, but no rain. Tomorrow it's supposed to pour, though.
ReplyDeleteWell, enjoy the rain.
DeleteMoody skies always make for great photos, and you captured them beautifully Mary. They change in seconds sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteI would think you'd get some rain with the look of those clouds!
ReplyDeleteI would have thought so too.
DeleteThose clouds do make great photos. The rain probably would have been nice though.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been for a while.
DeleteGreat cloud photos! We are under a tornado watch just now, I will probably be awake most of the night! Oh well!
ReplyDeleteOh no. Hope things are ok now.
DeleteDark interesting clouds and yet no rain. It's been trying to rain here but no luck so far.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some rain soon.
DeleteYour skies are always so much more interesting than the ones around my house.
ReplyDeletelol It does get weird weather here for sure.
DeleteI love a cloudy day.
ReplyDeleteI do too.
DeleteSuch pretty captures, Mary! It's been raining a lot in my area. I like it though, but it's keeping the temperatures really low and we're ready for a little warmth.
ReplyDeleteIt's near 100 here this week.
DeleteI am surprised no rain came
ReplyDeleteSo was I.
DeleteI like the dark sky with the bright spot. Pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
