FMTSO - Weather





Yay, it's my week!! :)




Well, let me first say that I picked the topic "Weather" when I lived in Illinois and there was actually changes in the weather! Now, I'm in Arizona, and it's pretty much either sunny and hot, or hot and sunny. :)


However, the weather did cooperate a little bit with me this week as it actually rained for the 3rd time in the 4+ months we've been here, and I was able to capture some shots. They aren't as good as I'd hoped they would be, but they're at least a variety from a clear sky that I usually capture.


If you look closely, you can see the flash caught some of the raindrops in the next 2 photos.

This next one (kind of) shows the ripples in the puddles as the rain hit them.

These next photos were taken of sunsets from my backyard. I seem to do that quite frequently. Arizona just has such beautiful sunsets, and they are never the same.

And lastly, from my archives of last winter in Illinois, and in honor of the Christmas season, here's a shot of a tree with a fresh snow fall on it. I just love how snow lays on top of each branch. I think it's beautiful.

  1. just for the record HOT and SUNNY for Christmas is weather also. and what a contrast from all those northern USA and Canada FSO members. I think heat shimmering on a highway a great weather shot... not complaining about these you show here you understand just pointing out the those northerners don't have all the weather - just because snow and ice on branches is really beautiful doesn't mean this the only thing.... I enjoyed your tone of voice... you seem so up and happy. Enjoy your '7' inches of rainfall so far this year. ;-)
