The Bottom of the Storm
Sometimes, especially when the sun’s at a low angle, the bottoms of thunderclouds look even more dramatic than the tops of them do.

FOR
My Patient Spouse said, “There are some great storm clouds south of town. Let’s drive out that way so you can take some photos.”
He was right – the clouds were very nice. But I turned my back to them (literally) because I saw this sign. You’d think he’d be used to that sort of behavior by now!

Drama at the end of the day
Sometimes springs days end like this – with the storm (and rain) headed away from us, like this one was. But even when we know no rain’s coming to us, the drama of the clouds as they build and billow and reform is worth watching.

More on the way
This is what we saw on the way to see this church: last week’s snowfall and clouds bringing the next round piling up on the mountains.

Self portrait (or as close as you’ll ever see)
Yes, those are my feet.
I was watching the storm on the east edge of town as it built up. I am not particularly good at just sitting, and watching, and waiting for something to happen. But, Brett Erickson has been encouraging me to take a much slower approach to my work, and I was giving it a try. (Brett hasn’t steered me wrong so far.) That storm was interesting but I have to say I got a little bored by the time I left.
So I made a picture of my feet.
Clearly, I still need to work on that sitting and waiting deal a little bit more…

(I am gone for a while, and will not be responding to comments right away. But make some anyway, if you feel inclined, and I’ll get back to you – it just won’t be right away.)
