These pictures are from earlier in August.
Near dark, a storm blew up.
Although it looks black and white, I assure you this and the photos following were in color.
A couple of minutes later and a slightly different angle. Things weren't looking good.
By the time it was fully dark, the rain started coming down heavily. Here's the rain, taken from a break in our tree cover from my front door. It's still in color but it looks so black and white type moody.
So what happened next?
All we got was a lot of rain and my flowers perked up the next day. But so many have been impacted by storms and fire this summer. It's a sad time, and we can only hope that, for all of us, all the skies will clear one day.

I like those pictures! They do indeed look black and white, and striking.
ReplyDeleteWow - very dramatic.
ReplyDelete...right about now rain is a gift!
ReplyDeleteVery moody. I like it.
ReplyDeleteSo interesting how the storm sucks the color out of the sky. But yes, really tough times right now with all the fires. Clear skies would be nice.
ReplyDeleteI bet you those photos would have been more dramatic in black and white, though!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that those pics look like they're black and white, and how that look helps express the mood.
ReplyDeleteThe world went black and white. . .
ReplyDeleteMoody skies.
ReplyDeleteWow! That storm was really dark!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog. I think the Mockingbird is a juvenile, and has not yet got his adult plumage. (It does look a bit ragged though).
Have a wonderful weekend!
