Break in the Weather

We enjoyed a break in the weather last night. Yes, we had threatening clouds roll in, and some pretty impressive ones at that, but we didn't get high winds, hail, or even a drop of rain. It was nice to watch.

Below are an assortment of pictures of not only the clouds, but some other things from around the neighborhood.

The darkening clouds moved in from the west and covered the entire northern portion of the sky.

The wall of clouds was pretty ominous.

These clouds to the south looked somewhat like snow capped mountains.

And this is what it looked like to the northeast.

And now, on to other things . . . .

While inspecting the bur oak in our front yard, I noticed it was putting out a new crop of acorns.

I left Donna's fingers in the photo to get a sense of size. When mature, these bur acorns will be as large  as or larger than a ping pong ball.

I espied this century plant in a neighbor's back bard. The electric pole to the right will give you a sense of just how tall these plants get. I'll be watching for it to bloom. Hopefully, I'll get a good picture then.

On my walk this morning, I heard the turkeys and finally found them in a neighbor's yard. The one on the right is in full form.
