I was in the Hill Country this morning when a cold front blew in. The clouds looks like waves in the ocean as they rolled through in less than 20 minutes.
Early warning, looking northeast.
Looking to the northwest we see why it’s called a “blue norther.”
Looking east a few minutes later.
Cloud wave rolling overhead, looking south.
Stretching to the west.
Clear sky between the bands.
Building in the west.
Rolling south.
I don’t often take pictures of the moon. When I got my current camera, I went outside, took a picture of the moon as it looked from where I was standing, then zoomed in to see what the camera could capture. It was pretty good! Although apparently I had trouble keeping it in frame and […]
The photo challenge set before us on September 20 was Spiders and Their Webs. I like to take pictures of spiders because they usually stay still long enough, and their behavior is interesting to watch. A very common and noticeable spider is the Yellow Garden Spider, Argiope aurantia. They stay in one place for weeks, […]
This is the third part of my submission for the Nature Photo Challenge #28: Wild Animals. In my first post on this topic, I explained about our two family properties in very different sections of Texas. This post will be talking about the second one, in the Hill Country of Central Texas. In many areas […]
In our travels, we have seen some iconic North American animals. You can see more animals from the Elk Refuge at my post here. It was fun to revisit old travels for this second installment for the current Nature Photo Challenge: Wild Animals. Do you have any animal photographs in your archives? There’s still time […]
This week Denzil asks us to show wild animals for his Nature Photo Challenge #28. That is a huge topic and I think this will be a three-part series! I see lots of wild animals on the two properties that belong to our family. The one where we live full time is in East Texas, […]
I miss how those skies reveal so much all the time. I miss how sometimes you can see that its raining miles and miles away as you drive still in full sunshine. Up here, between the buildings and the trees, I feel like I never see the horizon. Thanks for sharing.
I have seen blue northers come in like a blanket, but never with these rolling tubes of clouds. I am so glad I caught it because it only lasted about 20 minutes. I am happiest when I see lots of sky, too!
I’ll bet the Weather Channel would love to have these. They are awesome.
It was amazing – I’m so glad I saw it because normally I would not be outside so early!
I’m a bit north of the hill country but also saw this one coming in. Oh so enjoyed the cooler temps; today’s temps were unbelieveable…so looking forward to the next cold front! Enjoyed your pics.
I saw the geese flying over today here northwest of Houston – I hope the cold front is coming soon and that it stays for a while this time!
