Changing weather by cjwhite

Changing weather

When I woke up this morning, I thought I saw a little sunshine coming through the curtains. There was a tiny bit that lasted about fifteen minutes.

I took this one as the storm clouds started moving in. Soon after this, I heard thunder. It rained the rest of the day. We're supposed to have a winter mix tomorrow.

Thank you for your kind comments on yesterday's cat pics! I was hesitant to show all my kitties. I didn't post the collage on facebook. Some people just don't understand. I should have known my 365 friends would be supportive. :0)
I love the rich, gritty detail of this.

You caught this at just the right moment. It's a very dramatic and dynamic sky. Fav.
January 12th, 2012  
we had plenty of sun, but cold! i think i would unfriend anyone who didn't understand your cat herd.
January 12th, 2012  
Wow, those are some crazy dark clouds. Very ominous. Good thing you got your picture and retreated before the rains.
January 12th, 2012  
Oh, wow - a lot of drama here!
January 12th, 2012  
OMG this is an amazing shot Carolyn... and for me a fav ♥
January 12th, 2012  
This is great ... the contrast, detail, and everything. Fav!
January 12th, 2012  
Wowza!!! instant fave!!!
January 12th, 2012  
Whoa! That is one gorgeous composition! Is that your farm? You don't have to answer that . . I respect your privacy. But those buildings are beautiful. The cloud formation is awesome. What a capture. :)
January 12th, 2012  
Beautiful Capture! The sky and scenery are so dramatic! Nicely Done, Carolyn!
January 12th, 2012  
Great photo! Love it!
January 12th, 2012  
Very ominous looking, great picture!

p.s. I bore all my facebook friends with hundreds of pics of my cats... Embrace your crazy cat lady and tell them to deal with it ;) Though I can never just say... "I have ten cats.", I always clarify... "I have 6 inside cats, and 4 ferals outside." ..it just goes down easier! LOL

@karenann Thank you, Karenann! I don't have a farm, just a little land. The farm belongs to my next door neighbor.

A storms a comin"!! That is one dramatic sky!
January 12th, 2012  
Very dramatic. I wish it would rain here as it's been extremely hot for the last few days.
January 12th, 2012  
Looks intense, love the light play before the storm.
January 12th, 2012  
Great capture of an awesome looking sky.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!

15 minutes and you GOT the photo. Dedication. Impressive and dramatic clouds.
January 12th, 2012  
You should not be worried about that. Your cats are obviously well cared for, well groomed, and perfectly content roaming the 4-5 acres available to them. I say post it!

That is a very dramatic sky indeed!
January 12th, 2012  
Beautiful
