April Winds - SkyWatch Friday


The last couple of weeks we have had a assortment of weather but mostly sunny but still a little cool. We have had overcast days, rain and even a thunderstorm.


But today our winds came, for our area they were pretty mild.


The video is short. The sound you will hear is the wind and if you listen carefully you can hear a strong gust of wind that came along while I was filming. The gusts were just under 40 mph. The video is hazy because there was a lot of dust in the air.

To see more skies from around the world visit SkyWatch Friday.

What beautiful images..such a lovey hue of blue and the perfect cotton candy fluff for clouds, that only nature can create. Thank you for sharing. It's been a while and I just wanted to stop by to say hello. I hope your world has been filled with all that is lovely, and blissful.
Hugs,

Loved the surprise at the end, the video! So good to catch that gust of wind in the trees. Such a treat when living in a New York apartment!

DJan said...

We also have been having quite the windstorms. And a fair amount of rain as well. Really great cloud pictures. We sure do have wonderful skies here in the PNW.
