stormy weather

Just before a summer thunderstorm rolls in, I notice how the colors around me change into beautiful shades of slate gray and bright yellowish green. The combination of dark clouds in one direction and sunshine in the other creates eerie, but beautiful hues in the sky and fields. I can't help but let out an audible 'gasp' and run for my camera. Although I welcome these ominous scenes and get a thrill from the threat of severe weather, I also hope these storms will pass through without causing any damage to people or homes. There's a fine line between a fun summer storm and an emergency situation.

Keep your eyes peeled for the change in light and colors right before a big storm. But be careful! A picture is worth a thousand words but it isn't worth risking your life.

I rather stay in with such clouds, we have been getting many this past week...

Beautiful. I love to take long walks in summer storms, somehow it seems to blow through my mind and leaves everything fresh and new :)

Me too - I love 'weather'. This was taken on a misty..rainy..foggy morning:

The air gets electric; charged with possibility....This storm last summer came in quick, closed down the game, and left 30 min later....

I love how the colors change when the storm comes on - for a moment, you become a different person, a little wild, a little afraid, a bit amazed... A fun challenge, Paige!

Gorgeous image! and good advice about enjoying and being careful with the weather.

I typically like to nap during thunder storms but I do enjoy photographing the clouds as they gather before hand.

I LOVE storms, their power and majesty are literally electrifying. Living near the Gulf of Mexico, gives me some unique opportunities to capture some wonderful storms. These are a couple of my favorite shots.

I'm a Southern girl living in the San Francisco area for a few years while my husband is on military assignment. Gorgeous place, but no rain all summer. Not one single solitary summer rain storm. Lightning and thunder is really rare.

I love this discussion thread and it made me long for a good storm to rattle the windowpanes. May I offer a taste of our summer instead of a storm?

Beautiful picture. I think I'd still prefer the sun though :)

If they thunder storms want to roll in at night though I'm all for it!
