Tis the season of the thunderstorm

[wayfaringwordhack]

From our living room window, I spied these beautiful storm clouds building.  I snapped a photo from inside and then thought it would be better to enjoy the show from the rooftop.

I need a tripod to really get some settings that do the scenery justice: 

But I loved every minute of trying to capture the light and forms. :)

All the accompanying rain fell far from me, most of it out to sea, so your friendly photographer was not dampened by the experience.  Indeed it was good to get out of the flat and breathe some fresh air.

 

Tomorrow, I would like to go to the roof and paint.  Today, I missed the window.  I looked out at 3:25; and the light had already gone, leaving the hills and valleys I wanted to paint in too much shadow.

Awesome cloud formations!!!!

So far, I have yet to see clouds that could rival with the impressive titans of my childhood in the US Southwest, but they are very nice here and thrill my heart just the same.

I know! It is so nice to be returning to this time of year when the sky puts on a good show with regularity. :D

What a gorgeous progression!

What's the temperature like these days?

It is by no means cold, but there is a little nip in the air! This morning, I keep taking off and putting on a thin, cotton jacket. It is high time I finish up this cardigan. Today, I would find it too hot, but in another week or so, it will be a welcome addition to my wardrobe. And when we travel, I will definitely need it.
