I hope you got some rain out of those black clouds Alice! What a pretty pale orange glow in the sky. Are they fruit trees in rows on the left? We're going to have a frigid day tomorrow...straight out of the arctic, and then more snow for the next several days. I said I thought I could probably stand 3 months of winter snow and ice (rather than the usual 6 months), and that's about what this winter will amount to after the warm start...so I'd better not complain. Still....we were spoiled...so this is hard to take. Soak up some sunshine for me please! xox
Very nice and reminiscent of the road trip I took to visit some friends in Colorado. I was ready to book a flight when they said "No, don't miss the drive". I was grateful for that suggestion as the Rattan Pass produced a cloud like this one. Thanks for helping me remember!
Hi Alice ~~ Great photo and I hope you got some good rain out of that cloud. It is awful in Victoria at present in most places. Everyone is on water restrictions. Thank you for your visit, I am glad you and Richard enjoyed those strange words in the English Sayings. It was not easy typing them as they were so unfamiliar. You did well. Take care, Love, Merle.
Looks wicked!
ReplyDeleteOh oh, that's a storm alright. Mother nature need to let out the steam ;-)
ReplyDeleteI can feel the smell that comes just before the storm.
Now, I would prefer that to this snow and ice we have over here now....
What a really great picture- & so welcome over here!
ReplyDeleteThat cloud looks very ominous! Hope you got some rain in the end.

ReplyDeleteHey Alice, what a stunning photo. Looks like the cloud is reading down to pick up the tower. Hope you got some rain out of it.
