Pinyon afternoon rain~SkyWatch Friday~080511

Our last thunderstorm has moved off, but we still had high humidity here yesterday and it was 116 degrees!  Hubby and I (along with everybody else here in the valley) are pretty well thrashed today, and it is dry and 104 degrees.  That's quite a drop.  I drove up the mountain road to snap some photos on Tuesday because I always enjoy the cooler weather up there, especially when it is raining.  Everything is so nice and clean and smells so good!  Of course, right after I took this photo, there was lightning nearby.  Thankfully, no fires were started as our mountains are extremely dry this time of the year.  SkyWatch Friday for August 5, 2011.  To view other skies, please go to:  http://skyley.blogspot.com/
