Sunday was a day full of wind, threats of rain and stunning beautiful storms
The mountain ranges surrounding us filled with dark and threatening clouds, dumping either snow or rain, creating an endless series of drama
Even on the sawtooth mountain range of the San Juans…the snow-clad peaks etched needle-sharp against the sky received their share of the storms
Silent forks of dazzling light split the sky on the Uncompahgre Plateau and across the desert between Delta and Grand Junction.
Dull rumbles of thunder boomed in the canyons and hollows of the deserts beyond our farm. Sheet lightening shimmered far, far away threatening to come closer and closer to us.
Although the sky was a stunning crystal blue between the storms; the lightening would light up the plateau like an X Ray.
The air was filled with particles of dirt when the mighty gusts of wind pushed through
The storms raced here and there; composed of energy, and full of sounds echoing through out the sky and the earth
It was actually very beautiful.
We changed the water in both of the corn fields in the rippling, storm-filled spring skies…all of us driven here and there by the wind…shifting to hold ourselves upright and still set and move water.
It was exhilarating, to say the least.
From my world to your heart,
Linda

Exhilarating without a doubt 🤣 It does look very beautiful in the sky though.

Lovely, Linda! Our sky was changeable throughout the day, too–and the wind had a chill. I get my camera back tomorrow!

And they say talking about weather is boring! I shall send them your way next time… Glad that lightning left you alone, out there sorting out your water.

Beautiful skies and clouds! I love watching stormy skies and all the cloud formations! We were very windy yesterday afternoon with threats of a thunderstorm, but it never materialized. Maybe this evening. Thank you, Linda, for sharing your corner of the world with us!
Blessings!
