Summer Fields & Summer Rain
The heavy rain clouds can be seen for miles rolling towards the east from over the Adirondack Mountains in the west on their way over the Green Mountains.
On the one afternoon I thought to take a short trip to the visitor's viewing area parking lot, there were pockets of downpours, less than a quarter mile visibility, with road ruts deep in water. Three downpours I drove through. Exhausting. I am grateful to God there were tailgaters behind me.

The Summer fields are pretty, and how nice to have an outing there. You've had plenty of rain lately. We had a little rain one day, but only for a short while. I'd love to see more. Sometimes it comes in the Fall up here. : )

ReplyDeleteJ.S.,
ReplyDeleteGreen is the keyword around here this summer. All the rain we've had is making plants take off.
Carol,
ReplyDeleteYour view of the ocean there is what many folks dream of.
Hugs!
Sheri,
ReplyDeleteI hope your area gets the rain it needs. Droughts are no fun.
Thank you, Debbie
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your blog photos of the boats. Very Nice.
William,
ReplyDeleteThe sky yesterday was super busy with all sorts of cloud formations. It was difficult to chose.
It sounds like we had the same weather. I had a harrowing drive north through one of the worst downpours I remember for about 90 minutes; then it eased into just rain. Yours sounds just grim. Glad we both made it!
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you made it through all right.
There were times when I was ready to pull into a driveway. Visibility was horrendous.
I got caught in a downpour when cycling, and after I realised I was really going to get wet, I found it exhilarating. Mind you I didn't have that far to go!
ReplyDeleteI think the summer of '23 is going to be noteworthy just for the fact that there have been such extremes in weather. It seems like it's feast or famine pretty much everywhere.
ReplyDeleteJenny,
ReplyDeleteCaught in a downpour is when I learned that rain will funnel from top down on the ridge of the nose turning me into a gargoyle. :)
Maryanne,
ReplyDeleteYou are right, summer 2023 has been one of extreme weather.
Instead of brief showers, we've been getting brief heavy downpours.
Your part of the world is lovely. We are getting lots of rain as well.
ReplyDeleteDebra,
ReplyDeleteI hope all the rain means not a lot of snow this winter at the lower elevations.
