Utah-Wyoming-Colorado Clouds


Not much needs to be said..just photos of the clouds that we saw as we drove to Colorado and back again plus a few random other things.


(If you would prefer, you can click HERE to see the pictures full screen in a slide show format instead of scrolling through this post.)










Another Calendar Boy shot...







This cloud looked like a tsunami wave coming at us from the sky.


Both eerie and beautiful!

See the bird snacking on flower seeds in the middle of the roadside flowers?












All the cloud pictures were taken while Bernie was driving; no stops along the way just for photos, we had a long drive ahead of us.









The scattered showers produced huge grape sized raindrops that splatted loudly as they hit our windshield.








We kept say "wow...wow...wow" as we drove.
One the way home we listened to nine hours of the audio book "Wisdom of our Fathers" by Tim Russert.
It consisted of short letters written by people about their fathers.
Between us choking up and mopping tears and being rain on, it made for a rather damp travel time.

Just awesome....and there was lightening too.


This was the most unusual cloud I had ever seen.
It was like a thin veil drooping below the puffy clouds overhead and we could see through it.


Ohh..ahhh...

Not sure if this was in Wyoming or Utah.  We were still about three hours from home. 


The cloud shape kept changing and the rays continued to beam out.


Back in Utah.



It might be August before all the snow pack melts!
