Skywatch Friday: If You Don't Like Texas Weather, Wait A Minute

The old saw about weather in this region is that if you don't like what you're going through, wait a spell . . . it'll change.

And so it did on Tuesday of this week. Storms rumbled through, and I went out in the rain to record them. The shot that opens the post was taken in the back yard, looking southwest. The next shot was 180 degrees in back of me, looking northeast, about thirty seconds after the first.

The storms moved through, and the rest of the day was clear. My reward in the evening, when clouds moved in and the weather turned stormy again, was lovely colors, looking northwest. All of these photos were taken from about the same spot.

Happy Skywatch Friday everyone, and thanks again to the team for making it all possible.

Lovely colors in that last shot. Changeable weather? Sounds like the Eastern Sierra lately with the early thunder storms.

Love the last of your threee shots, for full effect it did need the build up of the two before.
