They've been spectacular.
I think because we live in a new neighborhood and there's not a lot of trees. Don't get me wrong--I love trees. We had so many trees at our last house that it made us feel closed in by comparison. The trees at our last house were beautiful. Right outside the master bedroom window were huge pine trees, trees almost fifty years old. It made us feel like we lived up in the mountains, but it blocked the view.
Here in Northern Utah one thing we've not seen much of in the sky were clouds. That changed last weekend. Big, huge, puffy, water-filled clouds gathered above us and let loose. We did get some much-needed rain and we can use a whole lot more.
I went outside and snapped a few pictures hoping to capture some of the awesomeness above our heads. They're okay pictures, but they can't do justice to the real thing. It's a rare photo that comes close. I think because when we see the real thing, there's an emotional connection to what is seen.
Yes...the skies are beautiful up here...even a cloudless sky is breathtaking. But, when the big puffy things show up, that's when the show really begins.
