Thunderstorm rolling in at dusk
I just don't remember sunsets being this spectacular when I was growing up in Massachusetts. Here in Colorado, I see this sort of thing almost nightly from my patio. Nobody can paint like Mother Nature!

1. Colorado has great afternoon storms...
I remember that from my youth. Do you get hailed on often?

4. I haven't had hail worse than I saw in New England.

I'm glad I have my covered parking spot, though. I've seen some nasty hail footage not far away on the local news.

I get some wicked lightning here, though. I've seen the clouds start to swirl right above my house in a storm that spun many funnel clouds just south of me, and some nasty tornados on the plains. THAT was scary!

I love clouds. Always have since I was a kid. Those are beautiful.

6. It was last night.
Though we had severe thunderstorms and hail in the area, and some flash flood warnings.

7. Show off

The one the night before was AMAZING. I still have to do a make up assignment from "Sunset in DU Land".
