I noticed sunrays through the clouds yesterday, so I snapped a few cloud pics. I love cloud pics, please have a look and add some too.

The "messed-up" jet stream has brought us thunderstorms these past couple of days. Wouldn't normally see clouds here until the Autumn cold fronts roll in at the end of September.

Here's one from a few years back but still my favourite. I was watching this storm cloud from the car all the way home from work and it rewarded me once I got home and got my camera.

..A few taken while at work yesterday. Checking the forecast right after I got up, I think the NOAA had the best weather description I think i've ever heard... "Juicy" I think this settles the "unbearable monsoonal.." thread started over the weekend. Enjoy.

These photos are fun, really enjoying them! After looking at Daryl's shots, I think a new lens for the camera would be useful... :)
