Stormy Weather

Hey, I'm back! Blogger's been broken lately, in that it didn't want to load pictures at all, but all's well now -- I hope. Anyway, this is a shot I took at work last Sunday (I tried to load it then) of the sunrise over Persimmon Peak just outside my booth. I just love the drama. Not really stormy, but . . .


. . . on the way back from Alpine on Tuesday, I ran into this. Boy, the sky in Alpine had some attitude -- some eerie mammatus clouds (not seen here) that can herald tornadoes -- and, of course, I had just given Pepe a bath. You might know.


It just kept getting better and better the farther I went. This is just about 10 miles south of Marathon. I thought I'd be traveling out of it, as the wind was from the west, but not so. It really rained a couple of times.


A quick shot out the driver's window at some angry-looking clouds. Even though this stuff was really churned up, I never saw any lightning or heard any thunder. You would think with so much activity, there would be some.


We're pretty much out of it now, as I had to stop and shoot back toward the north to get this. Of course, by the time I got to the park, there were only faint wisps of all this floating overhead, but no moisture. Dang! We could sure use some right now, what with all the flowers up and all. Oh, well, maybe next time.
