Picture of the Day for August 10, 2012

After I shot the flower pictures which I posted yesterday, the sun started to disappear and reappear due to the clouds, and some clouds were rather big clouds. It always amazes me how fast a thunderhead can build as there wasn’t a cloud in the east sky when I went to the pond last evening, but a few minutes later, one was billowing up.

It really looked ominous when the low dark clouds were covering the thunderhead at first with just peeks of white showing through the gray, but once the dark clouds moved out of the way, the white cumulonimbus still looked ominous and more imposing while it continued to climb upwards.
