It was one of those clear, cool, clean-air early mornings perfect for walking and getting my energy level up before I began my work day.
The sky was Carolina blue with clouds straight off a Monet painting just drifting by with ease.
As I moved along about a mile from home I looked up and noticed clouds moving along at a quicker pace than when I began.
Uh, oh, I see the one little cloud hanging with its big brothers, it’s dove grey color darkened, beginning to look threatening.
No worries, it’s just a wee cloud in the middle of big, snowy, candy cotton clouds.
I may as well turn back anyway I think as I cross the street to turn toward home still believing that wee cloud was of no consequence until I reached 50 feet from my front door when that wee cloud burst overhead giving me a shower soaking through and through.
Living where we do, a storm can arise from an azure sky so quickly it will surprise you . Great job on this…I can relate.
thanks.
Guess you’ll be taking wee clouds more seriously from now on.
Will take note of those clouds though a bit of rain in warm weather feels good, like being a kid again. Thanks for your comment.
I like the description of the sky being “Carolina blue”. Those clouds can be surprising.
Carolina blue rolls off my tongue even though i now live in VA. Same sky and I’m only 12 miles from the NC border. Glad you recognize that shade of blue..
Many a time it has been sunny, but that one little cloud has positioned itself only right over me!
It’s amazing.
Yep, been there. I know that cloud!
A well known little fella, that cloud is….
I love your descriptive phrases of the clouds and the sky!
Thanks Pat.
I love the description ‘Carolina blue’ and ‘clouds straight off a Monet painting’. Made me want to walk along with you in this picture you have painted. Have you invene=ted a new colour?
hahaha. I thought i invented a new name, but i’m afraid it’s been used….a lot. I am a fan of the impressionists, though. arlene
Almost made it! Oh, man, I’ve so almost made it many a time, lol.
VA?! Me too, only Northern VA. Much nicer down the southern way 🙂
I have learned to love the countrified slower pace here coming south from Jersey in 2005.
