Rain

Posted on July 9, 2011 by Dayphoto

It’s raining here, mostly in the hills and mountains around us.

The storms come up in the afternoon after a sweltering morning.
I really don’t mind the rain, or the clouds, but this time of year…moisture, coupled with heat, then sometimes it does produce hail. So everytime the storms come in we hold our breath hoping hail doesn’t also come with it.

Beautiful sunbeams through the clouds! Glad you’re not getting hail. If it ever rains here, we will worry about hail also.

Have a great weekend….blessings,

It seems like we have hail with about every storm now. I told someone the other day that we’ve had more more hail in the last 10 years than in the previous 40. Hail was a very rare thing when I was growing up. I do love that picture, even if a storm is coming. 🙂

At least you get rainbows from that rain. The weather map shows all the storms to the south of us (your country). We could use a shower here to settle the dust.

Wow… a fantastic photo.
We were out driving yesterday and I was watching a similar (only a much smaller version) of sun through the clouds. It always seems quite spiritual to me.
Enjoy the rain … without the hail.
Cheers :D)

We too hold our breath til storms pass. Hail took out majority of our first cutting on one circle and made a big impact on the other circle. 😦 Ended up cutting earlier as what was left standing was turning brown. Second cutting is coming back nicely tho.
Love the sunsets tho. We just dont get them here where we live in SD.
