Spring in Colorado

Good Morning Friends~I've mentioned before that spring here in northern Colorado, on the plains, makes life interesting. I imagine it is much like spring on the plains, in other states. We have beautiful mornings and then the clouds roll in, the rain starts joined by thunder and lightning. Here are a few pics from Monday. Love the intensity of the clouds and the vibrant blue sky.

In the photo below, I loved how the dark band looked like a ribbon just laying above the white.    These pics were taken from the car, which helps to understand why they are off kilter a bit.

As much as I enjoy the clouds, I also look for a change in colors and movement-always alert for any possible signs of tornado activity.  In our area, we don't have sirens like some parts of the state-and after having been in a pretty big one, I know what to look for.

Yesterday afternoon, I joined our kids at the pool; it was such fun, until the thunder ushered us out of the pool.  Today I'm sure we'll do the same thing, after hubby and I clean our old house.  We are scaling back a bit on the cleaning-but it will still be nice and fresh when we hand over the keys to the new owners. 
I hope you have a great day today! 
Blessings~
