Although the day started out sunny, clouds rolled in waves with brief periods of rain and then the sun would return. But soon more clouds and rain appeared for a few minutes with the sun shining before the rain finished. The cycle continued several more times, but other than keeping the grass wet so I couldn’t mow, the total rain was less than a tenth of an inch.
Brief Rain Clouds
On open water, you can see storms off in a distance as well as the ones about ready to rain on your head. The sun rays are poking through around the individual thunderheads.
Storm Clouds Across the Lake
A line of rain showers moved in today and some areas had heavier storms. The sky is often interesting with different cloud shapes and even a bit eerie at times.
Stormy Clouds
This afternoon I was getting alerts about lightning strikes near my house and could hear some thunder once in a while, but the actual thunderstorm cells just skirted by. By evening the clouds, both in the east and west, had hints of pink in them.
Missing Storm Sunset
It did not rain today, but the sun was still absent part of the day and was barely showing beneath the clouds before sunset.
May Cloudy Sunset
After a very foggy start, the sun was out for a Sunday afternoon walk to smell the apple blossoms and to watch and listen to birds in the trees.
Sunday Stroll
A brief thunderstorm rolled in this evening and although it didn’t last long, it produced enough lightning to scare my cat into hiding.
Storm Rolling In
As the thunderstorms rolled in yesterday, this was one of the last pieces of blue sky before the clouds blanketed the sky and created a light show from the all the lightning.
Last Patch of Blue
The little rock family looks at the storm clouds that are threatening to rain over Lake Superior as sunset approaches.

The day was rather gray with different waves of storms rolling through and a little dark when the power went off.
