The first of the rain bands from Dolly...

We had a rain band come through this evening about 7pm and you know me I couldn't resist photos of the clouds...


Ominous looking....

Yep I spent most of the morning buffing and polishing the Beast and it has water spots on it now...and No I did not go out there and wipe her down either, lol...I love seeing water bead up on a vehicle though...



This is looking South towards the Rio Grande Valley at about 7:30pm.

This is looking East towards the Gulf of Mexico at about 7:30pm...this is a huge rain band that is out in the Gulf...and yes I climbed up on the roof, lol...I just couldn't get a decent view on the ground...

LOL...oh this is a Com-trail from a jet...I looked up and saw it and thought cool...it was flying from South to North...After these photos I came in the house thinking I was done for the night but then just after I finished going through these photos I noticed the beautiful colors in the sky from the sunset...I couldn't resist going back outside...

Looking South...

I know I've got electric lines and poles in the photo but it can't be helped they are all over this place...grrr...but I just loved the colors of this photo and I didn't feel like taking the time in PSE 6 to take out the clutter...so just ignore the clutter and enjoy the colors...This is looking North.

This was directly over the house, looking up...truly awesome with the sunset hitting it...

looking WestSouthWest...

Okay I know, what is it? It's a Jack Rabbit and it was pretty dark out so not the greatest photo...but this little guy was running all over the place and I was laughing at him...Everytime I looked out towards the pasture he was running here and there and he was making me laugh...I was watching a skunk and he ran by the skunk...there were also some deer out there and he ran by them too...guess he was in a hurry to go somewhere...

I have noticed the dogs are pacing and won't settle down tonight and today I have seen quiet a bit of the wildlife moving about...I heard the coyotes howling this evening too...Guess they know there is a storm out in the gulf and can feel the pressure changes...

isn't that crazy how animals can tell you more about the weather than the weather.com or weather guy on tv!!
Hope we all get some much needed rain but hopefully not more than we can handle at once. Also Stephen would like to request no rain on friday!! LOL he has a golf playdate!!!

great shots HB! Glad you went back out to get the colours. LOL to the wildlife - coyotes! Sheesh! Now if you really want a photo to pursue, forget hummingbirds, go for the coyote and road runner! HA HAHAHAH! Man I crack myself up!
