SkyWatch ~ Just Clouds Across the Paddock

One day this week we had an inch and a half of rain,


this was the view as the clouds said good bye.
In the news they told us it was the single most significant
rain event in the last three years. I do hope we get some more soon!
Much better when enlarged.
Hats off to the SkyWatch Team for hosting this great meme.

  9. It's so nice seeing the blus behind brown, so lively but ironically amiss...

    Hope the clouds come back and heavier this time...

  26. Wonderful shot! I thought they were coming rather then going :-) Wow...an inch and a half sounds like so little, but I'm glad you got it and hope you get more.

  28. Great SkyWatch photo. I never get tired on that blue against brown look! (I have it here too in New Mexico, USA).

  29. Arija, lovely post and since you are having the rains, maybe then no drought in your area the hotter season. Hoping that your health has improved Arija~

  30. What a wonderful capture, Arija!

    I can see how the parched soil would welcome another round of rain. I hope it arrives soon.

    Happy Weekend to you,
    Merisi

  34. What a lovely contrast your shot shows: the parched land and the rain filled clouds! I hope you get lots more rainfall. It's pouring here right now in northern California...April showers....enjoy the week and thanks for stopping by at my SWF.
