Don't you just love clouds?

I love to see the puffy, billowing clouds!

I love the way the sun can hit on these clouds and just make them so beautiful!

I love the way the land scape shadows against a well lite sky with snowy white clouds!

I especially love cloud over a body of water.all the contrasting that

happens on one of these amazing days !

The whole thing makes me want to sit and watch the skies forever!

We were visiting when the warning for a torndo came across a weather scanner.

The skies became cloudy but in a strange way! 

Then from the rado we heard there was a possible tornado out our way,

so we took a ride away from that area.

These clouds almost look like a tail across a portion of the sky.

The photos were taken with my cell phone of the sky and the clouds.

Then the rain came and the wind picked up and I have to tell you it got cold quick!

This is one of the Clouds as we were heading home.

We heard on the radio that there was a possibility of it touching down near our area,so we

drove the opposite way and

the skies were not much better this way either!

So we took a ride away from  our area.

Though these were taken on my cell phone, the colors are some what accurate.

               The good news is the tornado never developed and there were no severe damages reported!

Where does a duck go to eat and get out of the weather?

Well, to the Duck Hut of course!

This hut is real and it is located in a local park, seems the people love the ducks so much

they built this duck hut for them to eat and be out of the weather a bit. And there is

Always some corn or feed in the dish for the ducks.

And in this same little park they have a unique idea of what to do with a old plastic boat.

How clever are these people?

Is this a creek or a creak?

It is all in how you pronounce it, I have heard Creek pronounced creek and

I have heard creek pronounced creak.

Anyway you pronounce creek, the sound of one running through the woodland is a beautiful sound!

And if you are lucky you might follow the creek and find

an amzing waterfall at the other end!

I saw this out of the corner of my eye, on my way back from an assignment I had to do.

My husband was with me and he was testy as he wanted to get home.

He knew I was stopping the car for a camera shot, little did he know that I was looking at this.

It was this beautiful hawk!

And he was not a small one either he was a large hawk!

The indians say, we have spiritual guides that help us through life.

They believe that if you see an animal regularly then that is your spiritual guide.

Mine must be a hawk, because I am always seeing them.

They other day I pulled over to take a picture of one and he flew away,

but today this one just sat right there  for me .

I wanted one more good picture but the hawk had enough and he quickly crouched down,

and away he flew, I did not even get a chance to get a picture

 of him clearly or in flight as he was that quick.

That is why this photo came out so blurry, sorry about that!

This is just to cool everyone off a bit during these humid ,muggy days!

I saw these wild lillies growing along side the road,and I could not resist!

I think these are just great,especially the orange against the green!

This looks so cool!

I got out of the car and took a couple close ups,I like how the camera

kind of blurred the back ground, but brought out

the brillant color of the lily.

I took a picture of these 2 leaning against the utility pole,

but I have to say my favorite shot is the one before this with the single lily.
