The most fascinating and beautiful clouds are oftentimes seen right after a storm. Last night we had some very impressive storms come through equipped with high winds, hail, lightning (which seemed to keep the sky lit up constantly like a flickering lightbulb), and thunder that made me jump out of my seat a few times. When the first storm cleared out, and the sun was setting on the horizon and I grabbed up my camera and took these shots.

In this photo, the storm was just breaking up and beginning to clear.

The next three photos were of the western sky with the sun rays beaming upward and illuminating the clouds into different hues.

Before the storms the kids and I took a wildflower walk and got a few photos to share.

Another new one to add to our notebook...Cow Vetch

 I don't know what this is, but thought it was so pretty!

Also, this morning we had another awesome Nature Club meeting, I'll post photos of that soon.
