“If we Texans get just an itty bit of a cloud, we all say it is a thunderstorm coming,” says Ron. This little Cumulus fractus over Waco, Texas, US offered no chance of rain, of course. Last summer, Ron tells us, they had over 92 days without a drop. And if you look closely, you might see the cloud appears to be trying to knock the Sun down with a hammer.

Extremely beautiful. Both colours, composition and shapes are making this photo unique! Thank you so much Mitch!
Alberto Ostacchini June 2013
Amazing clouds and great shot overall.
A well composed and well thought out photo, Mitch.
I like the use of the 1/3rds old and fabled photographic technique which never fails to please one visually i.e. the employment of the two trees in the foreground to, in effect, support the cloud centred uppermost, and then, the three clouds one third in on the left of the lower part of the photo. “The Thirds” never fail photographically.

Thank you Mitch for rising early and catching this unusual and spectacular scene and then sharing it with us.
