Last Saturday, June 4th, was a rainy day. I didn’t get to do my grocery shopping and other errands until after 5 pm when there was break in the rain. Naturally, I brought my camera with me while we go from one store to another. Enjoy our rainy skies:
The last one is what passed for a sunset 🙂

Rainy skies are welcome around here–as long as they don’t bring tornadoes with them. Yours are lovely and show the many moods of a spring storm. Happy Skywatch Friday.

Hi! Wow… YOUR clouds are pretty amazing as well! They are thick and laden ~ looking very ominous! I love crystal clear skies… but the clouds make things pretty interesting!

The first one is my favorite and the succeeding ones look menacing! We’ve been having rains for more than a week. Intermittent, but they keep returning. I really miss the sun nowadays.

Beautiful stormy skies — it might not always be fun to be out in the rain, but a storm makes interesting skies.

Those are some heavy skies! We have had quite a cool late Spring I must say. Lovely subjects for photos though.

This was definitely a wonderful evening of stormy skies for you and your camera. They are so unusual and striking with their puffs and blankets of varying shades of gray. I was awestruck by the images they are so fine. Wish I had been there to see them.
