What a nice comparison picture, Deb... Those storms we saw and heard in Texas this past weekend weren't PRETTY. I like watching storms when they aren't dangerous!!!!
That first photo is awesome - I'm so glad I enlarged it, because in addition to the clouds and Lake, I could see the rain. Pictures like yours help me forget how much I hate rain when it's falling on me. :)
I love these shots! What a powerful downpour off shore and the virga not quite making it down from the clouds. Amazing how quickly storms can pass, eh?
Oh, Deb, I love both of these...think I like the before best just cause I have the feeling of anticipation with it. But it is a hard choice, cause I feel the sense of cleanness in the after shot.
Deborah you captured the strength of that storm perfectly in that first photo..I would be that person standing watching up close and personal..I'm captivated at the strength of MOther Nature!I respect her in these situations too.
The Cloud Messenger (Meghadūta) is a lyric poem by the respected Indian poet, Kālidāsa. The poem centers around a yaksa in exile. Longing for his beloved, waiting for him on a Himalayan mountain, he asks a cloud to take a message to her. The sights he tells the cloud it will see on its way make up most of the poem.
The idea of recording observations appeals to me. I thought The Cloud Messenger was the perfect title for a blog about the journey that we all make as we move through our days.

A lovely idea. I do love the birds in the "after" tree. Sky is beautiful in both.
Wow, the first photo took my breath away. Awesome (and not in the teenage sense)
The first is exciting and scary and the second so clean and serene.
the bowl of blue... how lovely. Always the poet, Deb!
PS. I've moved my blog to wordpress, so that is where you'll find me for next week's OSI, too!
Simply incredible.
Have a great weekend.

Your photos are breathtaking as always! We have had some wild weather lately haven't we? Thanks for sharing these and have a great weekend!

Wow - what a storm! Those are great before and after shots! That looks like a very large lake!
awesome capture of the storm in the first shot...
The foreboding, the peace that follows. The light on the water is promising!
I would be running, too. That is a scary scene. Do you have a boat, and if so, how far out do you venture?
Great shots...beautiful blues...love that stormy capture...

It looked like it mean business, so it must have been a relief when it moved on.

Whwt a lovely picture you captured of the birds in the tree!

That top shot is one of the Eriest scenes I've ever seen. It kind of gave me the shivers. It looks like snow nearly. Man, great shot.
Wow!
Bracing. ARG, Matey!
Aloha
Wowee!!! That looks so menacing. And then the return to calm. Very nice. MB
Superb, both shots. A wonderful storm rolling in over the wind whipped lake. Just splendid.
The rain drops are so clear, well captured.

Wow, what a shot of that storm!
Wow! I'd be running for cover too. Great photos
