You know you are getting old when you say “We could really use the rain.” I never thought that in my 20’s and 30’s. I thought “Ugh, it’s raining. My hair is going to frizz.” I was out for a morning walk in mid-May when it looked like we were going to get some badly needed rain. I was at the Dunedin marina and could see the rain across the waterway and it was headed for me.
It was dark towards Clearwater beach and I as I did a quick walk around the front of the marina the dark cloud kept getting closer and closer.
I had parked my car nearby since I didn’t want to walk back in the pouring rain or worse lightning so as soon as it started to drizzle I hopped in and headed home.
I stopped at the causeway on the way home and the storm was following me north.
I parked and was able to get a quick walk over the bridge before it started raining here. I was tempted to wait out the rain to see if a rainbow would appear later but it looked like it was going to rain for a while and I was getting hungry.
Those are some beautiful dark clouds you saw. I love it when the sky gets dark when you are on the beach. Except I am not a fun of lightning.
Great shots!
Wow, awesome skies. I love those dramatic clouds!
The clouds are splendidly dramatic.
Worth a Thousand Words
Wow, those clouds are something. A few days ago, we got some wicked lightning in the Largo area. You may have seen it in your area too.
I ran out of time, but I should’ve mentioned Fort DeSoto in my post. Our boat was docked in Tierra Verde in 2005, and we visited Fort DeSoto often. Do you kayak? We’d love to check out Shell Key.
I love the cloud pictures. So neat. the sixth image down, sale boats, tree on left and the clouds, imo, would make a wonderful walll portrait in in 32×16- canvas!!
Gorgeous photos!
