SkyWatch - Oh happy day . . . or not quite


Great hope of a downpour, beautiful to see


but soo disappointing. Not a drop of rain ensued . . . at least they 
provided a little shade for the struggling vegetation


and made for fun cloud shots.

Check out lots more skied on the logo at right.

    Wonderful cloud shots Arija - and yet it didn't rain - you just can't believe it. Do hope it rains soon on those poor plants.

    They are still grouping themselves, haha, till they are heavy. In our case we are already above 30C and just starting the dry season. It is the beginning of my difficulties again. Rain will still be in May or June, OMG!

    I am so sorry. We did get rain. Gentle soaking rain which you could see the garden drinking happily. Wonderful sky shots - but rain would have been much, much better.

    I love storm clouds! I just noticed that I have ceased looking up since the state of things in my country have been a drag. I miss my clouds. Tsup!
