Seven Days on the Plains – A video by Mike Olbinski

If you’ve been reading this news blog, you know how much I love clouds and sky pictures. I found a kindred spirit on the internet. I’ve been following this man’s work for a while now. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did.

Stockton alerted me to this beautiful cloud just before sunset. There were more clouds in the distant northeast. I wonder if anybody got any rain. I hope so.

Well, the rain never materialized, but at least I got some beautiful sky pictures with gorgeous colors.

Afternoon Promise

Wednesday, May 7, 2014

This afternoon some clouds built up and even thundered around a bit. The clouds looked very promising. We just knew our time for rain was here.

Belle, one of the milk cows was very interested in my camera.

All we got was a few sprinkles. Can you see them?

We are about to be desperate for rain. Can you see the “wheat” in the background? This was supposed to feed the horses for a while longer. But it’s gone.

I guess Rusty decided he needed a little water, too.
