Skywatch Friday - Retreating Storm
Bluff Spring Fen - June 21, 2008
Last Saturday, I feared that the field session of my butterfly ecology course would be ruined by a thunderstorm. Just as the class was scheduled to begin, the sky began to clear, and offered this very dramatic view of the retreating storm.

My Sky Watch Friday post
Perfect one for SWF! Which reminds me the quote... "we all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon".... Mine's up too hope you can drop by. Happy Weekend!
I like the shot, but I bet it would really be amazing if it would enlarge quite a bit!
Thank you for helping to make Sky Watch so popular and special. I hope you enjoy your Sky Watch as much as I do.

Butterfly meadows are most wonderful places in the summer. Lovely photo.
Great picture. It's very atmospheric. I can almost feel the storm coming.
I love the way gray skies make the green glow!
Glad it didn't rain. :) It's a really good shot! Glad you could share it with us!
Lovely photos! Hope your field trip went well.
That's a dark sky! But the whole picture is still beautiful.
My SWF picture is posted HERE.
Hope you could drop by, too! Thanks!
The colour in the shot is spectacular:) It is so dramatic and nice at the same time!
Well done!

I'm back ...
Oh no, cried blog world ... he's back!
But guess what, I'm so happy.
If I didn´t rejoin SWF I would never have the chance to see this great photo!
I love the juxtaposition of the green against the dark gray in that shot.
I am so dissapointed -- The butterflies are in severe decline here, what with the new development and all (filthy carpetbagger developers). I even built a nice native plant garden for them to visit, but I've seen maybe three leps all spring. It's waaay past time to move from this horrible place.
As for the sky shots, here is one of my favorites from the Gulf of Mexico.
Ciao!
Very tranquil shot of the storm moving on. Hope you had a great day researching butterflys.
great greens in the picture
nice shoot
Cool post for SWF
Great picture. Have a great weekend.
Great capture for sky watch!
Have a nice weekend.
Great photo for sky watch!
It looks as if you were very lucky not to get very wet.
i miss midwest storms.
Thanks to all who stopped by for Skywatch. Within an hour and a half of that photo, the sky was completely clear.
Storms out of nowhere! You just have to love the midwest weather.
Doug, beautiful! Don't you just love those slate colored skies? Have a great trip!
