Rain Cloud

Isolated thundershowers have been moving through the area the last day or so. The rainfall is not near enough to help with the drought but it is thankfully bringing down the temps a little and any rain is welcome.

The bottom shot is where I turned around from watching the rain clouds and just shot a pic down the road. It may be goofy to just take a picture of the little farm to market road but the picture reminds me of the line from a Robert Earl Keen tune, 'The road goes on forever and the party never ends.' It also illustrates just how isolated thundershowers can be here in West Texas. I have seen it to where it will have a good rain on one side of the road and the other side of the road stays bone dry.

We get the sun/rain combo here in Phoenix too sometimes. As a kid, I thought that if the sun was shining while it was raining that it was good luck.

Still do. ;)

Great pics on this site!

Andie, there is an old saying that if it is raining and the sun is shining then it will rain again tomorrow. That is very good luck around here. I'm glad you like the pics. I am not much of a photographer but I have a lot of fun with it.

I think you are a wonderful photographer. I love these pics. I have become quite the photo-bug since moving back out to the country. There is just so much beauty to capture...

Dear Jane, I won't post them either. You have to leave a little bit to the imagination, huh.

Pixie, actually this is a road with fairly steady traffic. There are much lonelier roads around here.

When you live next to a highway, everything else looks quiet ;)

Pixie, I have never lived right next to a highway. I don't think that I could ever sleep if I did.

Granny, you make it sound like a wonderful place. One day I need to head down there and check it out.

Old Farts Wife, I am using it as my background right now. Maybe it will bring good luck.
