Rain, rain, go away…..NOT! We need the rain with the hot temperatures we are having this summer! Even when the weather is not cooperating to be able to take some nice outside shots of the plants…you can grab the camera and get a few pictures of the skies!
and a little lightening (Yes, I went inside after THAT one!)
Rain clouds ahead!
can you see the rainbow?

What great pictures of thunderstorms!
ReplyDeleteWhen you see a rainbow, it makes the storm worth it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos Susan! You've captured the sky so well (not always an easy thing to do.) I particularly adore the first one--- I hope you frame that one and hang it on a wall!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting us. You're a dear. xo
Beautiful rainbow, Susan! am terrified of lightning. I am glad you went inside after seeing that...Christine
ReplyDeleteHi Susan. These are fantastic and awesome shots.
ReplyDeleteGreat outdoor!

We sure do need the rain.. all we've been getting are the booms and noise but no water. I always love sitting on the porch when it gets like that .. but scatter when the lightning starts.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Your pictures are awesome! We just had a thunderstorm but I've never taken a picture of lightning. I've tried though. One time I got a picture of a nice rainbow.
ReplyDeleteOutdoor Wednesday is fun!
Susan, beautiful shots. Ironically enough I saw a rainbow this afternoon as well, but couldn't get any good shots of it. Thanks for hosting another Outdoor Wednesday..hope all is well with you and yours.. hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteHi Susan!
ReplyDeleteYour photos of the storm are beautiful! I love watching storms.

ReplyDeleteGreat shots! Thanks for hosting Outdoor Wednesday! Have a wonderful week.
Blessings,

Amazing, I've never seen lightning like that and you even captured it...a little scarry for me...love rainbows (God's promises). Very neat sky shots. All I can think of when I see these thundershower shots is the song my mom used to sing, rain, rain go away come again another day and its raining its pouring the old man is snoring he bumped his head on the bed and didn't wake up til the morning....I haven't thought of these in years and they just popped into my head now, funny isn't the things you remember. Happy OW

ReplyDeleteSusan, That pic of the lightening is pretty scary - but awesome (as well as the other shots, too) ~ Robyn
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteGreat Pics . I love summer storms as long as they don't get serious.
~Myrna
Beautiful pictures, Susan. Lightening is frightening though!
ReplyDeleteThe storms missed us tonight, the city got them though!
Hope all is well...
AMAZING photos of the sky! WOW that lightning is SCARY!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan - Oh do so enjoy a good thunderstorm the louder the better :) your photos are awesome. take care, Judith
ReplyDeleteWow, Susan what great pix, I think I would have gone inside a lot sooner though!
ReplyDeleteLove taking part in Outdoor Wednesdays.
Thanks for being such a gracious hostess.
Wow! These are fabulous shots of weather--from raindrops to rainbow. I particulary like the pink tones in the first image and the lightning shot. That strike was close! Hope you have a fabulous day. Thank you for hosting Outdoor Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteAmazing pictures. I'm always trying to photograph the lightening but I was never able - neither my husband.
ReplyDeleteAlfazema

Hi Susan, you've captured all the aspects of the sky..plus the unexpected rainbow. Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteSusan, We would give anything to see that lightning and those dark clouds. Great pictures and a great list this week. Happy Outdoor Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteBarbara
Beautiful shots Susan! I wish we would see more of these skies, believe me. I especially love the first one. And that lightening, yikes, I bet you did go inside in a hurry! Thanks for hosting. Kathy
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI have missed your fabulous out door parties so very much. I am really looking forward to getting my life back to normal soon. I do love thunderstorms and your images are amazing.
Have a wonderful week.

I don't mind actual rain, but I do hate the dark skies. I need my blue!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures we get in summer are just wonderful...aren't they? Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rainbow!
Happy Outdoor Wednesday.
Gorgeous photos. And that one of the lightning is beautiful but really scary!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Did you take that one? You are awesome. Ohhh... i love the rainbow. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI was leaning out the door last night at the tail end of a bad storm that took our power for hours taking a picture of the sky when a very sharp crack of lightning made me scream and run back from the door. It was amusing. Your photo and comment above made me think we may have been scared very similarly.
Big storms, great lightning.
Becky K.
I very like your 3rd photos. Great.
ReplyDeleteWonderful stormy skies! Sure wish you could send some of that rain to Southern California!
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
super pictures, scary also
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting “Outdoor Wednesday”. Great sky photos. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you. I loved your pictures, you captured amazing photos of the sky and oh that lightening. I would have gone back in as well. Thank you for hosting, I always look forward to Wednesdays.
Have a great day.
Your friend,
Maryrose
Hello Susan, Thanks for hosting this amazing weekly photo fest. Of course storms are part of God's creation and as such have their own beauty. Like you, we need the rain.
ReplyDeleteJust a heads up about one of the participants. They may not even be aware of it. Every time I try to visit Joan @ Apple Jack. I get a warning that visiting this site may damage my computer. I would certainly want to be told this if it was mine. Thanks and blessings,
Mama Bear
Hi Susan, Thank you for all your efforts in hosting 'Outdoor Wednesday', it is very much appreciated...
ReplyDeleteYour photos are all wonderful, I have never been able to captured a lightning strike. Well done!
Enjoyed all your weather shots. You organized them so well. I am always afraid to be out in the weather. Glad you were and shared these wonderful views.
ReplyDeleteThese look like the skies we've been having the last few days and I'm with you — we need it!
ReplyDeletewow these are great pictures
ReplyDeleteWow! These are some dramatic photos and tell quite a story. We had a storm like that yesterday afternoon, but to close to nightfall to enjoy these views....so cool to have caught them on camera and enjoy the rainbow too!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, amazing photos of the weather. The lightening is quite scary, but then comes the rainbow. Very interesting photos Susan. Good job. I hope you get the rain you are needing.
ReplyDeleteHugs...Jeanne
I love stormy weather, and these pictures are spectacular... especially that lightning shot! Whoo-hoo! And of course... I love that you wrapped it all up with a rainbow. God's promise.
ReplyDeleteHappy OW! -- Cass
Hi Miss Susan it's my first time joining you for Outdoor Wednesday. I have been admiring from the sidelines for awhile now and it is much more fun to just jump on in and play.
ReplyDeleteLove your storm shots that first on is awesome.
hugs, Cherry
I love rainbows.
ReplyDeleteMy outdoor Wednesday post is about the rain also and well the animals that come out after a good rain.
Ally
You did catch the lightning I have tried but never made it, good on you, MB
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Bad electrial storms rolled thru here early evening hours last night and flash flooding. I was late joining in today, as my cable modem went out last night and did not get another picked up til midday today.
ReplyDeleteThese are magnificent photos Susan!
ReplyDeleteYou are brave...the lightening photo is amazing!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the weather pictures. I've tried capturing a lightning picture but haven't been successful. Yours is great. And, of course, the rainbow at the end is such a wonderful promise!!! Thanks for sharing. Linda
ReplyDeleteHi Susan:)
ReplyDeleteGreetings:)
I'm coming from Ceilo's blog.
Lovely photos. The rainbow is beautiful and awe inspiring.
As you rightly said we need rain to cool down temperatures. Many parts of India are facing a severe drought because rain is playing truant. We need rain for agriculture and for generating electricity and of course for little to children to play and enjoy themselves:)
Have a lovely day Susan:)
Joseph
What great photos. I love summer thunderstorms. I love the photo you captured with the lighting.

Hello there Ms. Susan! I especially like the rainbow shot .... hope you are happy and feeling well.
ReplyDeleteSusan, I LOVE those clouds. Lightening scares the bejeebers out of me but, I love the colors of the sunset in those clouds. You have a bunch of gals playing OW this week. Good Job! Thanks for being such a great hostess.
