Change in the Weather Coming



(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it. Clicking a second time will make it full-sized.)

Betsy and I went to Asheville, North Carolina, in early April. The weather was perfect for much of the morning, but rain was forecast for later in the day. While at a rest area in the mountains I captured this image of blue skies and white clouds with darker clouds starting to move in.

Ominous clouds rolling in may be threatening but they are also mighty pretty.

Beautiful capture, George.

Lately the skies have been very strange.They are very low to the ground and I am not used to seeing this.
I have been watching them and they don't look too friendly our end of the world.

Very beautiful sky picture! I love it when the sky is deep blue with big white puffy clouds!

That is a great capture of that action - - - and I don't normally see white - dark - white - dark - - - usually it's one and then the other - - - side by side rather than in stripes. Pretty cool.

The light and dark clouds make an interesting photo, as if evil and good are battling up there in the sky.
