Default Storm clouds.

For the last few days it has done nothing but rain. I haven't been out much and my dogs now hide when they see the camera. I did manage to go out the other evening and catch a couple of pics of the clouds rolling in. Boring, I know, but I kind of like them. Both look better in the larger size.

Enjoy. Comments always welcome.

Nothing boring here Shirley. I love the first image with the contrast between the really dark cloud base and the orange fringe lit by the setting sun - and the whole set against a perfectly blue sky. Great stuff! Must have been a bugger to determine the correct exposure!

I never tire of looking at the clouds...i love the touch of pink in these and i would say they are far from boring...really nice shots. Oh and dont worry my dogs run and hide or at least turn the other way when i bring the camera out .

Love the touch of pink on the fringes of the clouds. Nicely done!

Thanks for sharing these

Good shots. I like how the light is coming off of 'em. Very intersting.
