RAINY WEATHER.... TEMPO DE CHUVA...

Dark clouds, heavy with rain... the wind is blowing... a storm approaches as typical summertime thunderstorms... the rain is comming down...
Nuvens negras e pesadas de chuva... vento forte... um temporal típico de verão se aproxima... já vai começar a chover...

    Cara Sonia,
    belas imagens! As chuvas de verão podem ser das coisas mais aterradoras a que já assisti! Mas, por outro lado, trazem consigo a vida!

    I love stormy weather, so long as I'm not caught out in it, like this morning with Georgia! :p I used to really enjoy rolling in the mud in a storm. Can you believe that? It was when I was young enough to have someone else do my laundry for me!

    There's actually a whole area still in sunshine in one of your shots, in the distance. Beleza!

    Hope you're having a lovely weekend, Sonia :) xox

    Preciosas imagenes me gusta la tercera en el contraste de la nuve negra y el sol al fondo al final llovio.
    Saludos abrazos y buen fin de semana.

    Que delícia. A chuva no campo tem outros sabores, outras cores, outras certezas. Suas fotos me deixaram em silêncio e com uma sensação de aconchego tão gostosa. grazie

    I look forward to storms like this as spring comes to the US. Since December, they've all been snow, and it still hasn't thawed.

    Esse chuva me pareceu deliciosa, até porque deu uma refrescada para vocês.

    A very dramatic sky associated with that storm. A thunderstorm can be very exciting, but also very frightening. Mother Nature can be extremely powerful at times.
