Cool Cloudy Colorado


We found the monsoons
In Colorado, driving along the highway
Suddenly dark clouds appeared
Light sprinkles began falling, followed
By urgent drops of rain like hail
Beating against the windshield
Temperatures outside dropped


Would the heavy drops turn to pellets
And damage the window of our car?
Not this time, soon the rain stopped
As quickly as it had started, leaving
An immaculately clean windshield
And two relieved passengers inside

  1. WOW!! Are all the pix taken through the front windshield?? I really like the one with the rain on it.

    Are you in Colorado on your way home??

  4. Don't you love the west's summer thunderstorms? You can drive in and out of a serious deluge in an hour or two. I drove through one Monday, and enjoyed another gentle one here at home yesterday. I love the sights and sounds of a rainstorm.

    Nice pictures too.

  5. Good to have someone there to be scared with in that bad weather!
    I'll bet you'll be saying, 'There's no place like home!'
