Drama in the Sky

We finally got rain in S CA last week. Actually, about 4 straight days of rain. We're so spoiled by our good weather, and we're such wimps when it comes to weather. I heard people complaining about the rain. When will it be over! I'm tired of rain!! As if anyone is actually going to feel sorry for us 😉.

The rain brought some dramatic skies to Orange County (no desert shots this week). These were all captured on my iPhone early last week, just before the rain started.

    In regards to your comment on my blog: We live out in the country on acreage and we look East and just watch the Moon or sun rise as it comes over the hill---no searching.

  5. How do you get such shots on an iPhone? I'm jealous.

    To be fair to us, by the fourth day, the schools were pretty much under water. At least, the school I was at was.

  6. Beautiful, ominous skies. We've finally had some decent snow over the last couple of weeks (the mountains have had a ton this year, but we've been mostly sheltered).

  7. The rain was probably needed, even if not wanted, and brought those dramatic skies.

  9. Those are cool clouds! If you lived in Oregon, you'd be very used to rain by now.

  10. I love tropical monsoon season in my village. Those heavy clouds enable you to click pictures at any time of day. They are such a majestic thing to behold. Fantastic images!

  17. Amazing clouds. We maybe should all put away our thousand-dollar cameras and stick with our phone camera. ☺

  25. Absolutely stunning photos! ♥ I've been to SoCal many times (my parents lived in San Diego) and loved the weather there. Made me laugh when they said 60 degrees was cold, though! ☺ That seems like a lot more rain than you usually get. Makes for beautiful sky shots, though. Cheers!

  26. What gorgeous skies!Rain is extremely rare here in Jeddah, and when it rains there is usually severe flooding. I really miss the rain and the dramatic skies...

  36. Ha, well your well wishing will keep a nice thought, lol. There sure is a dramatic change in the sky, it's wonderful and glad you got some moisture. The clouds over the elementary school looks like a teddy bear! It's funny to see the little guy wearing a helmet to sky watch (:

  37. Oh gorgeous pre rain skies! You haven’t heard people complaining about rain and (light) chill until you’ve lived in a Snowbird Resort... we are all terrible weather wimps and old and querulous besides )j! (It’s really been quite wet and chilly here for a week, but one only has to look at the weather channel to know how lucky we all are. As you say!)

  38. You captured some pretty spectacular skies! I know what you mean about the complaining. I tend to complain when the temperatures dip into the low 50's. That would be considered a heat wave in some parts of this country.

  39. The first shot looks like a painting; I kept studying it, trying to decide if you had put any filters on it. But I suppose Nature is the best painter. I also like the shot from the Target parking lot, with the clouds appearing to gather around the lamp post. Nice composition! We are enjoying a couple of cold, blue sky days - just the way I like it!
