Arizona monsoon sky

During July and August, thunderstorms blow into the valley from the mountains usually in the late afternoon and evening. Tonight, there was a special quality to the light which drew me outside.




The above pictures are of the north and west sky.

These two were taken during the same time period looking south. Last evening we got over a half inch of rain. Tonight we appear to be on the northern edge of the storm with no rain. Nate and Nichelle just came to pick up Oscar. They said it had been pouring at the office building just one mile southeast.

I love our summer monsoon storms!

Such a pretty sky. Thanks for taking pictures. It has been breezy here, but not major storms(yet).
