.... means we lucked out, right?" Isn't that the way that old saying goes? Okay, so it isn't. But that's how it happened here last night. The forecast originally called for possible stormy weather with 1 to 2 inches of rain... neither of which we needed!
It was close to 9:00 p.m. when I looked out the window and saw the sky like this:
I'd never seen it quite like that before. Everything was so yellow! It was raining very lightly. The radar showed that we were just on the back edge of a rainy area that had apparently come up from the south but slid mostly to the east of us. In just a few minutes, the clouds started breaking up:
And that was it, except for a blast of wind. We only got a trace of rain. Thank goodness!
This last photo is marred a bit by the raindrop on my lens, but I thought it was kinda cool the way the flash colored the leaves yet everything in the background is black.

That is an unbelievable yellow sky. Are you sure that is not the sunrise and you woke up from your nap a little late? Great pictures as always. Mark
Well, I've never seen the sun rise to the west of the cattle shed before........
But who knows? The weather's been crazy all over lately... maybe that's why???
Neat pic's. Did you get in yourr nap?
Whoa. Those sorts of skies give me the willys. But as always you get great photos.
