It's that unsettling time of year - weather-wise, when Winter is waning and Spring is nearby. Living in the high country of Colorado, Spring isn't even a thought yet..but nature and weather are taking a peek - here and there. On our way home yesterday from the 'flat lands', it's an hours + drive, there is that last stretch of road, you come up over a hill, and there is our homeland, the Sangre de Cristo mountain range and the town of Westcliffe. There was an amazing snow/rain squall happening just forward of the mountain's edges and yes, there is a big beautiful mountain range behind those clouds. It was coming right out of the front edge of the clouds. Hard to take a photo of the whole event...but here are pieces.
A Lenticular cloud bank which often forms perpendicular to the wind, hangs over the valley.
The wind has been something we have learned to deal with. Why wouldn't there be lots of wind here, we live right off a giant mountain range.
And at the end of the lighted day, there is usually an awesome sunset right out our backdoor.
I especially loved those 'rays'.

Beautiful photos
I'm a fan of wind, clouds, and friendly thunderstorms.
There is something in me that really loves watching 'mean' storms approaching. My three dogs and DH and I used to sit on the enclosed porch in Kansas and watch, pulling back as the wind and water blew into the screened area. But I love 'after the storm' sunshine, too.
