SkyWatch ~ Clouds, Promises, Promises.....

Just before sunrise they came .... they covered the sky

















all day they played across the sky, teasing, teasing ....


by late afternoon, the sky was covered, but did it rain???
Not a single drop, just a hot, hot day with no respite in sight.

Thanks to the untiring SkyWatch Team for showing us the
beauty of the skies.

    I know I always say this, but you do have THE most spectacular skies in your neck of the woods, Arija.

    I'll do a little rain dance for you. That should do the trick.

    I really like that shot of all the puffy clouds. I dearly wish we could share some rain with you. We tend to have an awful lot lately. My skies are pretty cloudy.

    Those are very unusual and lovely clouds! We never get clouds like that.

    Will I see something when I look at it long enough? :D It does look like one of those pictures!

    Thank you for sharing this! It's very interesting.

    Wow what a wonderful 'mackerel' cloud formation and very rarely a rain producer too.

    Waiting for rain can be a long drawn out event, hope you get a pleasant drop soon, QLD sure has been getting more than its fair share.
