Our Beautiful World- Clouds

I regularly read from Kirsty Vittetoe's blog, Handmade Little Things.  She is so creative.  She also posts over at Our Beautiful World.  Sometimes I join in the photo prompt.  This week was one of those weeks.

The challenge word was clouds.  I had been reading through some old posts and read about our very unusual weather last February.  Phoenix, Arizona is known for the dry heat and wonderfully cool, but not cold Februarys.  Last year though, we had an unusual storm blow through and leave behind graupel.  This snow-like substance was stunning to see and we snapped a few pictures on the drive home.  I told the whole story in this post.  Here's my photos:



The sun was actually shinning most of the drive home.  It was a head-shakingly awesome sight.  In light of the winter the North has had this year, these photos might seem like a taunt.  However, this was truly wacky Phoenix winter weather.

Come join the fun or just see the cool photography over at:

  4. Andie, thanks for posting your fabulous cloud photos at OBW this week. So interesting to read about various weather anomalies across the globe. Great, big, fluffy clouds in a glorious blue sky but I suppose causing quite dangerous driving circumstances. Cheers and have a great week. Robyn

  6. Your clouds are amazing. Being the daughter of a pilot, watching clouds was something we were brought up to do - these look quite menacing clouds!! Bring on the soft cotton wool type clouds!
