Cloud Pic of the Day--August 9th

Another beautiful summer sunset!

I just love how the sunlight is reflecting off these clouds. The picture just doesn't show how amazing this sunset truly was!

Cloud Pic of the Day--August 6th

My family and I were coming home from the fire station tonight and I could see that some storm clouds were brewing. I caught this picture from our driveway.

Pretty intense, but strangely enough, we barely got any rain, thunder, or lightning from this storm!

Today is Sunday, and I always get up first so I can get cleaned up and start getting my family ready to go to church. Today, though I had to get up a little earlier so I could cook something to take to church for our special Breakfast Day.  I was letting our dog Dixie out into the backyard for her morning stroll and I noticed the sky looked pretty. From our backyard, it's hard to see clearly for all the trees, so I went quickly to the front yard and saw this.  What a beautiful morning sunrise!

Tonight we had to go out to the store. As I was loading my boys into the truck, I noticed this huge wall of clouds in the sky. It seemed as though these clouds covered almost the entire sky. I couldn't even get them all in the picture. I've never seen clouds look quite like this before. It was absolutely beautiful!

I didn't get a picture of the clouds yesterday. I was too busy celebrating with my husband for his birthday.

I did get a picture of the clouds today, just as the sun was peeking out.

Sorry I didn't get a picture posted yesterday. I had to take Baby Jacob for his doctor's appointment. He's four months old now and needed some shots. Then after naps, Jacob, Quinn and I rode to Statesville, NC to visit my husband's sisters, one of whom we don't get to see except at Christmas time.  I had so much fun with my family I forgot to take a picture.

Here's the one for today.  I love how you can see the sunset colors reflecting onto this cloud.

You would think by how dark this cloud looks that we had another summer storm, but you would be wrong. What you are seeing is the shadow of the cloud. The sun was just about to peek out of the hole in this cloud. I love how you can even see the beams of sunlight shining down.

Another beautiful sunset! I am just amazed and in awe of how different the sky looks every single day.

Cloud Pic of the Day--July 27th

Check out how low these clouds are in the sky! Almost seems like you could reach up and touch them.

Cloud Pic of the Day--July 26th

I love seeing the bright white of the clouds up against the clear blue sky. This cloud looks like the top of an ice cream cone, don't you think?

Didn't think I was going to get a picture today, but I wasn't disappointed.

Check out this amazing sunset!

Cloud Pic of the Day--July 24th

Another summer day....another afternoon storm.  I took this picture just a few minutes before the rain started.  I love how you can see the layers of stratus clouds. Now you can see why we say that stratus clouds are like a blanket covering the sky.

Today we had another summer afternoon storm. I went outside to take some pictures right after the rain stopped, hoping to catch a rainbow. Unfortunately there wasn't one, but I caught two images that I thought were really pretty.

This one shows the clouds at the back of the storm.

This one shows the sky over my house after the storm came through.

It was a little strange to see it cloudy and dark on one side of my street, yet beautiful and clear on the other side of my street. But that's how these summer storms work!

If clouds are my favorite thing to look at in the sky, then sunsets are my second favorite!

Doesn't get prettier than this!!

Cloud Pic of the Day--July 21st

I am just amazed at how different the clouds look each day, and I've only been taking these pictures for a week. Sometimes the clouds just seem as though you could reach right out and touch one.

As usual in the late afternoon, the clouds build up to bring us those summer storms.  Check out these cumulonimbus clouds I spotted today.

Cloud Pic of the Day--July 19th

Today started out as a "perfect" day. As we say in the South, it was a "Carolina" blue sky, with hardly a cloud to speak of.

By evening, the clouds had arrived, but they still made a pretty picture!

A summer sunset!

Pretty, isn't it?  Clouds are one of my favorite things!

Is this a cloud?  Or a duck?  You decide!

Can you see what I mean?
