SkyWatch: Aqua Storm Reflection

The pond behind our local Costco reflects the sun obscured by dark clouds as a late summer storm blows through.

Skywatch Friday: Storm Front

This view is looking west down Capitol Drive between Brookfield and Pewaukee.  You can see the rain storm above (note the few raindrops on the windshield) and the clearing and sunshine ahead.

SkyWatch: Like a Prayer

This photo was taken just before a recent evening thunderstorm. The cloud formation below the setting sun almost appears to be a pair of hands praying upward.

Squall Line

The clouds show a distinct squall line as a thunderstorm moves into our neighborhood from the Northwest.

Macro Geranium

I finally got a new camera. Much better than my old Canon Powershot A710 - but small enough so that I can still carry it in my pocket or crossbody bag during my walks and hikes. It's a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 and I love it! Above is a sample from the first set of photos I took with it. It's a close-up/macro night shot of a single geranium flower taken during a light rain. Especially like the fact I could get such nice detail without any elaborate settings.

SkyWatch Friday: Part 2 - End of the Rainbow

Because I technically posted my "SkyWatch Friday" entry on Thursday of this week (which is allowed) - I thought I'd continue with the SkyWatch theme for my official Friday posting. On the same drive home along Duplainville Road the rainclouds that had just opened up sported a rainbow that ended somewhere over the soybean fields. I wonder if there's a pot of gold in that old barn?

The image from the previous post and this one were taken only about a half mile and a few minutes apart.
