Dark Clouds

 
The poetry that sustains me is when I feel that, for a minute, the clouds have parted and I've seen ecstasy or something.
Rita Dove

The other day I saw this interesting situation in the sky. As many of my regular readers know it has been raining a lot here this Fall, Winter and Spring. In fact, we are still having inclement weather but we now have the welcome addition of sunny rays here and there throughout several days this week. I hope it continues until the weather warms up. I digress. Let me get back to the clouds.


I was looking up at the sky and I saw something almost like a straight line on the horizon. The "line" was made by low lying clouds. I thought it was quite interesting and I don't think I've seen anything like it before so I am now sharing it with you.



I hope you can see the portion of the sky just above the tree blossoms.


Let me take a moment to wish you and yours a blessed Easter weekend.

Yes...that would be a scary sky! Tornadoes can start out with weird stuff like that!

God's blessings on you this Resurrection Day! ♥♥♥

This reminds me of my favorite view when I lived in Vancouver--looking across English Bay, with blossoming trees in the foreground and snowy mountains in the distance. What a beautiful place you live in, Penny. By the way, you can send any extra rain our way. Today on my blog I am posting all about water, irrigation, and the dry Rio Grande! No rain here...

Yes, Penny, that's a commonly seen skyline here in the stormy south(minus the beautiful mountains)! Very good photos.

Those are some very low lying clouds. We get those just before and during a snow storm. May you have beautiful sunny weather this weekend!!! That was a prayer I just sent up.

Happy Easter to you.
blessings, jilly

That is a great sky - it's something I see against our mountains here fairly often, and I love it every time I do!

Amazing sky.

Pat said...

Great sky shots, Penny! I do see that line of clouds dividing clouds from sky. Every now and then I see a similar sight here...it always looks so unusual. Because of this Skywatch meme I observe the sky more carefully and more often than I used to. It's like a canvas that God is painting on. I can't even imagine how beautiful it will look when we live on the New Earth!

Vicki Boster said...

Jan said...

Great pics, Penny, I often wonder how the weather turns out when someone posts unusual cloud formations.
A happy and blessed Easter to you too.
Love, Jan
