Scattered Showers over the Rocky Mountains were a perfect way to cap off what was mostly a sunny day spent in the Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge. Forecast for tomorrow…scattered late day showers. Better set the alarm for another early start.

Hi Melissa, yeah I thought it was kinda cool to be able to see all those little fingers of rain coming down over the mountains. I do not get to see that often.

I LOVE this photo! B/W enhances the shot, the snow-capped peaks anchor it. It almost looks like plumes of smoke rising and has a spiritual feeling to it.

Thanks for the feedback Kit as it is much appreciated. It was indeed a unique and dramatic sky and luckily for me the weekend I was up in the north park area was full of dramatic skies. Thanks for stoping by the blog and hope to hear from you once in awhile if the mood strikes you.

I can’t get over the skies we get in Colorado. I feel like I see new types of cloud formations all the time. The trick is getting a picture that captures the majesty. You definitely managed that here!

Kit, I agree we are lucky in Colorado and with this year bringing us our typical afternoon showers it is great to see the cumulus clouds and storms roll by.

Stunning and dramatic; beautiful work.
I saw something like this the other night while out driving, except it’s corn rather than mountains here in Illinois. Sadly, I didn’t get a picture.

Hi Nicholas, sounds like a great scene to see and the picture you have in your head is always the best one anyways. I am heading to visit family in Illinois this weekend so it sounds like I should bring the camera just in case. Take care and have a great weekend.
