Our weather the last year has been odd for this neck of the woods….but perfect for me to capture images to share with you all:)
It all began like this….dark couds overhead with threatening skies…I knew it was camera time.
Within minutes the first rainbow appeared…as the sun was dipping lower and lower so the incredible colors are natural.
Looking back towards the barn….beautiful skies!
We had several short cloud bursts of rain….
Incredible…God’s colors…in person they are intense and beautiful and awesome!
Another rainbow…and this time it was reaching over the entire ranch….we have land on each side of the road and this blessing rainbow was reaching from side to side of our land…wow!
And Mr. Buck was on the move…he was feeling good and stretching his muscle!
And a classic Quarter Horse stop…Buck is right on…head down…butt tucked under and haunches set…slide a bit and stop…love Quater Horse butts:)
“Did yah see that Mom?”
Ok this is the third set of rainbows…totally weird…I do not ever remember seeing so many in one storm here.
Neither does Buck….
Another incredible sunset in Juniper…
Melody and Annie were right with Bucky…weird weather makes them feel frisky…they love to play and run and buck too!
A beautiful end to an unusual storm for us…I know many of you have scary storms…so far ours have been unusual and great photo ops for me…by the way I shot over 350 pictures in a few hours with this storm and it was hard to pick the ones I did for the blog:)
Buck says whew that was fun! Now I need sleep…it is the time to say God Night:)
With that said…have a great night!

Beautiful photos. Bad weather often times makes for the best photos.

Thank you:) I have learned that overcast days and clouds are some of the best for shooting, the last year anytime I notice clouds building I grab my camera. It is incredible what we will see if we look around…I love God’s nature:)

Some totally gorgeous shots…..those rainbows were a sign I’m sure of it!
Those views are something I never tire of seeing – you all are SOOO blessed!

Thank you both:) I love shooting rainbows and the various light and colors of the sky…God keeps us happy with our cameras as He gives us all kinds of amazing things to see:) We are yet remodeling….Minnie is sitting next to me with an eye on the door as today they are finishing upstairs above us with the wood floor noise. She and I will both be glad when the inside house noise quits:) I have not posted the house update yet….hoping to this weekend:) The last thing to do next is resurfacing the concrete patio…which will be noisy too.

I must say I would be frightened! Otherwise very dramatic shots!

Thank you:) We are lucky here that we do not get tornados or storms that cause great damage. We get the dramatic clouds etc. but usually that is all:)

Beautiful as always. I am thinking I like the last one best.
May 31, 2012 @ 13:20:10
Thank you:) It was a fun storm to photograph with all the weird clouds and colors:)
