I went out into the Kaibab National Forest to see the fall colors under a blue sky with fluffy white clouds.
Then the clouds began to build up.
Suddenly the sky changed radically as I watched a storm approach.
I headed home under these many different shapes in the cloud layers.
Barely got inside before the rain began, complete with thunder and lightning (see in tomorrow’s post).
Yet still saw a touch of color at sunset through my RV window view over Grand Canyon.

Wonderful storm shots! Glad you made it home before it broke.
Thanks. Me too as it really came down hard.
Love the quote to go with the storm. Glad you got back dry, must have been exciting to outrun the storm.
How are your legs coping???
I was headed right into to this storm.
Legs doing great now that I’m wearing the compression stockings. Thanks for asking. Hope you are well.
It’s fascinating, isn’t it, when you can watch Mother Nature take such a turn. Love the quote at the end of the post, and of course your photos are beautiful!
I’ve learned to embrace the stormy weather. Hope all is well with you.
Great photos of the storm. It is amazing how those blue skies and puffy white clouds can turn dark and ominous or even be blue and puffy in one direction and dark and ominous in the opposite. If you have pictures of lightning strikes tomorrow I sure hope you are going to tell me how to get some. I’ve tried forever with NO LUCK>
I like landscapes with clouds for more interest plus light and shadow play. Just luck.
Awesome series, Gaelyn! I love the shot with the layers of clouds.. Have a great weekend and happy skywatching!
Thanks Eileen. Clouds come is so many shapes.
Great sky shots and I like the preview of autumn color!
Thanks Peter. The aspen colors are peaking right now.
Wonderful and beautiful series of sky shots !
Happy Weekend

Thanks. The sky rarely disappoints around here.
Great series for sky watching folks!
Thanks Janice.
Wow that is wild. Sometimes at work, when I leave my beige box I can look to the west and see the weather coming in.
Kind of fun to see what’s coming at you.
How dramatic and beautiful!
Stunning photos, love the storms you get there, very dramatic. Hope all is well.
Sorry I am behind on comments. My computer died a month ago and it has taken a while to get another one minus a French key board which I did not want!! Finally back on line but having to learn a whole new system! Diane
Beautiful photos. I hope is dumped bucket loads.
It did rain pretty good, and probably our last for a while.
Love the colors of the first shot.
The colors are spectacular right now but with temps dropping don’t think they’ll be around much longer.
wow, dramatic change in the weather. gorgeous images of it too.
Awesome shots of the progression towards the storm. Love the different shapes of the clouds …
Thank you. Might have been the last big storm for a while and it gave its all.
