Peek-a-boo Blue


I don't know that there's ever been a more welcome sight than that blue sky. I should probably mention that we were camping...in an almost deserted campground
Stormy skies

I'll never forget the sound that this storm made as it approached the campground. It literally sounded like a freight train. It was the second time we'd heard that sound while camping and knew we had to throw everything into the camper that wasn't nailed down.

It went from gorgeous to this in under 2 seconds flat; we waited out the torrential rains and insane winds inside our camper, keeping a close eye on the shower building which was one site over. After it died down we ventured out towards the only other occupied site to see if the tenters had made it through in one piece.

They'd made it through the storm holding down their tent while watching the clouds swirl over head...yup swirling clouds slowly making their way down to earth...It never happened though but every time I see blue sky now I feel a burst of pure happiness.

  2. Lucky You!

    They're mammatus clouds and are usually only ever seen after severe weather storms(ie.Tornados).
