Day 300

I've made it to day 300! I can't decide if I should be excited or a little freaked out that there are only 65 days left of the year!!

This afternoon we were looking out the windows and noticed this giant storm cloud coming in. It looked like it would pour any second. What's kind of funny is that it passed right over us without releasing a drop.

Day 294

There is a storm coming in.

Day 132

The only thing to do with an unexpected series of storms is to get some good pictures. I was taking Paul to preschool and noticed this window of blue sky amongst the imposing storm clouds. There's some hope that the sun will come out by the weekend, so I think this picture is appropriate.

Day 131

Today in the Pacific Northwest we have been holding our breath while enjoying the weather between storms. The sun was out this afternoon, but as we were driving home this evening, these storm clouds were on the horizon and reflecting some awesome colors from the setting sun. I had to pull over and capture a few.

Day 126

Another view of the valley from our street. I thought the misty clouds in the trees and storm clouds were awesome!

Day 99

There were some storm clouds brewing this evening, and I caught this one with the sun trying to peek through.

Day 79

I think the most frustrating thing about the project blog for me is that some days I'm totally inspired with a couple of pictures and then other days, I can't come up with anything. Today was a day where I could have gone a couple of different directions. I'm going with this picture because I can use the other option on a different blog.

Matt was napping, and Paul and I were in the bonus room working away when this huge storm suddenly blew in. It was short and amazingly violent. This is the kind of rain I'll take any day (as long as I'm cozy at home). I don't like the misty, all day sort of rain. Short, sweet, and powerful is my rain of choice.

You can see the motion of the rain much better if you click on the picture and view the larger image.
