Continuing my theme this week, I offer a few more images from our Florida summertime stormy weather:

One evening, after huddling indoors from the rain, Carol called me to the front yard to see the sky. The sun wasn’t shining, at least near us, but the clouds were illuminated with many colors, shapes and textures. It was eerie and awe-inspiring!

And, here’s another view of the Saint Petersburg pier, with the afternoon storms rolling in across the bay from Tampa in the east. This photo was taken while the sun was shining brightly at my back:

For the past week of so, I’ve had it in my mind to photograph a few local landmarks at the golden hour in the evening. Or perhaps even first thing in the morning. However, it seems every time I have a few minutes to break away, our Florida summer storms are right there to interfere with my light!

Oh well, when you have lemons, make lemonade – and when you have storms, make storm photos! Here are a few shots I’ve taken in the past week, taking advantage of the rainy weather here in Saint Petersburg.
