We have had some storms in the area recently. Most of them missed us but we finally got a decent amount of rain Sunday night into Monday. This was the sky one evening during that week. Fortunately it was just ominous looking and not bad with these Mammatus clouds.
We have had a significant amount of rain lately. It's been so much I am even tired of it though I shouldn't be as we will probably now go for months before it rains again. We were in drought so needed it badly. The clouds have been very interesting due to the rains. I captured this image while walking. The cloud in the center kind of resembled a mushroom cloud at first but then reminded me of a dog's head. 😁
On This past Monday we had storms move through the area. We lucked out with just some heavy rains and a little very small hail but in other areas of the state, there were tornados. In the evening I went outside and saw that the sky was looking rather ominous but cool. The sky to the south, in this photo, had all these Mammatus clouds and then to the west had a very cool painted effect.
A little over a week ago, while out on a bike ride, there were some clouds to the west that were capturing the light in neat ways. There was some rain from them as well though by the time they got to our area that had stopped. We did get some rain that evening though which we needed badly. We still need a lot more as the ground is very dry and cracked still and the plants are still struggling. I am worried about my Lilacs, they are not looking very good.
I was traveling back from a trip to buy Mulch last weekend and there was a beautiful storm cloud to the south. As usual lately, we received no measurable rain once again. We are so dry with also suffering from regular 50mph winds.
We had some really lovely sunrises and sunsets in Novemeber and on into December. I was able to capture this sunset on a walk last week. I loved the kind of odd cloud pattern near the horizon.
