Just a little ol' Spring Storm
Posted by Joyce (Montana, United States) on 17 May 2012 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
This is facing northwest opposite from Emigrant Peak and approaching the village of Emigrant, and then over the mountain, the city of Bozeman just having gotten sprinkled. I pulled over for this cute little storm strolling by. It's headin' this way, partnah.
YELLOWSTONE SHOOT & SOAK, October 1 through 4, is now closed to more attendees, but you might be able to get in if you twist our arm.

@Doug: Thanks. I liked that everything was on a slant, but it is level. Nobody has caught that so far.

Every day is different over there in Montana due to the climate. Great big cloud. It's pouring down somewhere.

@sido: It is a joy to be a skywatcher in Montana.

At least you can see it is not he End of The World . . but it might be the end of where you are standing !

@Ronnie 2¢: Naw, just a mild little sprinkler, partnah. I wandered on home by & by.

nice catch Joyce - I posted a storm and clouds today too - or the unfolding of one over time and resulting delightful rainbows :)
I love when you can see the rain off at a distance like this... when living smack in the city - these type of things are elusive but much easier to see without a bunch of buildings occluding the view.

@Jason Kravitz: Your time lapse video is really cool Jason! And that double rainbow with rain caught is so clear, unique, and rarely captured. It's fun to watch a storm move around the valley. Sometimes the powerful look of them make me hurry home and close windows.

I love these types of isolated rainfalls, and the distant view puts it into a wonderful scale.

@Rick: It just looks so unlikely with all the clear sky around. I think, "good on ya, little storm!"
Don from Spokane, United States
A very good landscape made even better with this storm cloud that is so impressive. Very nice shot.

@Don: Thanks Don.
Shar from Pilot Butte near Regina, SK, Canada
Nice capture. You have shown the scale well by including the buildings.

@Shar: Thanks Shar! It's that sky that I could just drink up.
LauraS from Chico, United States
Amazing. Great capture. The sky above it is so blue, and the scene below already turning brown.
