Sunbeams and Clouds

As I was out rockhunting late in May 2010, the sun disappeared behind some clouds and I looked up to see this nice fluffy cloud backlit…couldnt resist so I snapped it…I like sunbeams as well as sunsets…

Backlit Clouds Above Me

Pretty soon I was working on filling the second bag when my rake end snapped off my trusty tool, so I walked one filled bag back to the truck and grabbed my handrake instead…and saw this pretty butterfly on the way back…

As we were leaving and heading home…I looked over at Missy and had to take a pic of her as well…looked like she had been swimming in the clay all day….

Missy Went Swimming Apparently

Well we started home and started seeing sunbeams all over the place…

Cloud and Sunbeams on the Way Home

On the way home, they were talking on Y98 Radio about a huge thunderstorm parked over the city of St Louis and just dumping alot of rainfall on the entire area….. I spotted it from the Cuba area, about 75 miles to the west of St Louis…

This Cloud Parked Over St Louis

As I drove into Bourbon, I turned off 44 to go by my parents house to show them the nice druse, yes they are druse fans too…and snapped a photo of the Bourbon Water Tower against the supercell clouds…

Sunset Near My Parents

another one of those clouds that looks like its on fire at the top…and this sunset was taken near my home in Sullivan`s city park…I`m like Virgil, like to see Old Glory waving when I include flagpoles in my photos…
