144:365 Orange beauty

Anna: We were on the way home from seeing The Dark Knight (great movie, by the way - I definitely recommend it!) and I was just amazed at the gorgeous clouds. There was one towering cumulus that was growing right before my eyes. Now, I know that means we've got another storm on the way (which I can now hear thundering and lightning it's way towards us as I write this), but gosh darn it, they're gorgeous.

Of course, I didn't have the camera with me. :-P So when we got home, I grabbed it and headed for the 4th floor patio to see if I could get some good pictures. Unfortunately, the dramatic shapes I was seeing earlier were already gone.

So I took some pictures of the flowers in planters scattered about the patio instead. I'm rather pleased that I was able to get any, since the wind was picking up pretty swiftly just in the few minutes I was up there.

I really like the colours.

Now... I wonder if we'll be needed to shut the computer down because of the storm coming in. From the thunder I'm hearing, I think it's a good thing I'm posting now!
