That's some scary-lookin weather, but those photos are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI will take a lighting storm over a tornado storm any day.
DeleteI have lived in both.
Hi, Gayle!
ReplyDeleteThose skies are magnificent. They look like watercolor paintings! Thanks for sharing those spectacular sights. "Fangs" for the picture of thehamish, too. :) I wish I could be there right now and rub his belly!
I wish I could paint one of these but the photos are so perfect.
Deletethehamish would love the belly rub.
So beautiful. I saw my first cloud to cloud lightening this past week, at least I don't remember seeing it before.
ReplyDeleteOur storms have been missing for about 2 weeks and we need them. Not the best monsoons so far.
DeleteGorgeous skies! I love all of these photos. And try to enjoy the rain...it's badly needed, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe skies were so exciting when I first moved back but now they are hit and miss, not like true monsoons weather I was use to.
DeleteHamish needs a belly rub! Very dramatic skies!
ReplyDeleteCome on down, he would love some bellyrubs.
DeleteWow, those photos are incredible! Such gorgeous sky. Some of them a bit scary with lightning! Gud thehamish, it's the best to stay inside and dry, on the comfy couch when it's storming outside :-)
ReplyDeleteSummer storms are very interesting and while we need the rain can be damaging.
DeleteYour storms made the TV news here, Gayle. Doesn't look like the Hamish is too concerned!
ReplyDeleteThat is super interesting... it is just summer to us.
DeleteDear Parsnip, your photographs really capture the magnificence of these clouds and the storm they bring.
ReplyDeleteYesterday, a friend and I visited The Metropolitan Museum of Art to see a fantastic exhibit of opaque watercolor Indian miniature paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries. I thought of you when I realized that several of the paintings included as a narrow horizontal band across the top ...a monsoon cloud. I wish that you could see the exhibit! I mentioned your posts and paintings to my friend, who also was trained as an artist but no longer paints.
Sweet hamish provides quite a contrast to those clouds. xo
Our skies can be very interesting and artistic.
DeleteI wish I could see this show. I will go on line to see if they have any information on the show.
Thank you for the information.
Dinner and a show
ReplyDeleteJust home from vacation (not Japan yet) and I'm trying to catch up on blogs. What incredible photos. I love to watch storms when they're not too close. Love to Hamish.
ReplyDeleteSo envious, the words vacation and Japan in the same sentence.
DeleteIncredible and beautiful shots Gayle - but not as beautiful as you know who (but don't tell him so).
ReplyDeleteNo problem, he knows !
DeleteFantastic photos, Gayle - thank you for sharing them with us. Incredible colours, I'd love to paint them - storm clouds are so dramatic.
ReplyDeleteWeaver is right of course, nothing is as beautiful as a certain little chap. Hugs from us here.
Hugs right back at you.

WOW! That one where the lightening curves under like that. Wicked.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos Gayle.
