We sometimes have clouds like that but didn’t rain, so disappointing. We need more rain. Nice photo of the clouds above the trees.

We only had two or three days of light rain all winter, VJ. That’s one of the reason we had crazy wildfires.

There are lightening and thundering for a few hours tonight. I hope we’ll get some good rain.

I love the perspective of the tree line leading our eye to the clouds and then the clouds have their own point of perspective. Nice capture!

Were the clouds building up to a storm? I’m struck by the contrast between the blue/gray of the sky and the green of the trees.

Yes. It was a stormy day. This was just before.
